Because I love interns, I did a new thing this month... I try to tell you guys what I explore each month, and usually, it's less career-related and more real-life. This one is special. I love interns. I had waaaay too many internships in college and I know for a fact most programs suck. Most of us stop there, but I decided it was a disservice to know better and not teach others how to do better. Earlier this month, I shared all of my favorite insights into developing a Stellar Internship program with fellow A/E/C professionals. Here is one of my key insights. Measure and adapt.

As many students will start summer internships tomorrow, I want to share three tips for the first week to help ensure a successful summer. 1. Solidify goals & deliverables - clarify what success looks like for your role and what are the end of summer deliverables. 2. Develop communication and feedback plan - ask your manager how best to communicate updates and how often, align on timing of formal and informal feedback. 3. Meet the team & learn the organization - know who to go to for what, both on and outside of your team, understand firm culture norms and take time to understand how your role and team fit into the broader organization. Happy interning!! #SummerInternship #CollegeStudents #TalentDevelopment #EarlyCareer

Here's what's missing in nearly every diversity-related internship program I've seen. These are oftentimes well-organized and well-intentioned and aimed -- importantly -- at growing the "pipeline" of diverse candidates in our industries. BUT, there's often low retention and a real disconnect between those managing the interns and the interns themselves. In this 2-min video, I lay out exactly what I think the solution is (and it's not that complicated...or expensive).
