Current Hosts

As an ITAP internship host, you will serve as a mentor and facilitator for your student intern. You will be Students working in group expected to provide clearly-articulated objectives for your project and a reasonable and attainable work schedule to meet those objectives. ITAP Associates will work approximately 8-10 hrs per week (depending on other program activities for the week). Hosts should provide students with reasonable access to learning resources (e.g. manuals, handouts, etc.), technical resources (e.g. computers, scanners, etc.) and sufficient workspace to accomplish their tasks. Hosts will also complete an evaluation of the Associates’ work in the middle and end of each semester. Hosts are responsible for maintaining an open dialogue with Associates to confirm that goals are being met and that projects are on schedule.

Students are expected to act professionally and responsibly at all times. Students should communicate often and reasonably with project hosts to ensure they understand the project objectives and the tasks at hand. Students should ask for help when needed to ensure the continued progress of the host’s project. ITAP Associates are expected to notify their hosts when conflicts arise in their work schedules and should work with hosts to make up the hours lost if needed. Interns and Hosts will sign a “Project Contract” that lays out the project expectations of both parties and the desired project outcomes.
