understand how to effectively structure internship programs. In addition tounderstanding student expectations, it is important to ensure that the internship program’sobjectives are aligned with the organizational requirements. Thus, the first step is to arrive at aconsensus decision on program goals among all involved along with management support. Thegoals of the program drive the length and type of internship. Typical internship programs are 3 to6 months long, and the interns may work on a specific project or a series of projects. Irrespectiveof the type of the internship, it is important for the organizations to understand the uniquecharacteristics of the “Echo Boomer” generation. Understanding the candidate characteristicswill help structure the
