Your first internship is a big deal. It is also, for most students, the first time they are expected to navigate a real workplace, and nobody hands them a rulebook when they walk in the door.
Most interns are smart, motivated, and genuinely want to do well. The ones who struggle usually aren't struggling because of their work. They're struggling because they didn't know what they didn't know: how to communicate with a manager, how to read a room, what their social media may already be saying about them, or how a single awkward moment at a work happy hour can follow them into their end-of-summer review.
Intern 101 is a 90-minute virtual class built around real situations that actually trip interns up. We use case studies, examples, and conversation, not lectures, to help students be better prepared on Day 1 for the situations they are likely to face.
We'll work through questions like:
How do you communicate with a manager?
What communication habits from college (and social media) do not translate?
How do you take critical feedback without shutting down or getting defensive?
What does your social media say about you before you ever introduce yourself?
How should you handle a work social event or a happy hour?
What generational differences show up at work, and how do they create misunderstandings?
What small, daily choices shape how people perceive you over the course of a summer?
For students: This is the conversation most people don't have until after something has already gone sideways. Better to hear it first.
For parents: If your student has an internship lined up this summer, this is a practical, low-key way to help them walk in prepared.
