Intern Onboarding Tasks

  • About four weeks prior to your intern's start date, a Stewards Enrollment Specialist will reach out to the candidate with onboarding instructions. You will not be notified of their progress unless there is an impact to the intern's start date. Assume no news is good news!​


Questions

  • If questions arise from your intern while completing the Stewards onboarding tasks, please direct them to their Stewards Enrollment Specialist (they will have already been contact by this person)- they are experts on all things onboarding!​

​

Preparing for their arrival

  • Please ensure you have all necessary items in place prior to their arrival. This could include, but is not limited to: office space, housing (if applicable), site or project specific training, etc.

  • Communicate to them what they should wear and bring with them, when they should arrive, where they should meet you, etc.
