Supervision
As an intern, you will be supervised by a representative of the organization in which you will carry out your internship, although the teaching institutions also provide support.
Your supervisor will supervise you, guide you, offer you advice and could also serve as a mentor so you can develop and acquire new skills. They will assign tasks and make sure they can be achieved. At the end of the internship, an assessment of your work is generally expected to be carried out by your supervisor.
A member of the university internship department staff is generally involved and will visit you once to ensure your internship is working out well. They assist the company in resolving any problems and serve as a resource person.
