Employers | Guidelines for Hosting Interns
Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration interns are ready to network with industry partners. Hosting interns can be a rewarding experience for both the student and employer.
Documents:
The following items will be required prior to posting an internship opportunity:
- Review, sign and submit a CSUSB Learning Site Agreement (LSA)
- Learning Site Agreements are not required for paid, for-profit internships
- Complete and submit the Intern Request Form or provide a position description along with desired qualifications
- Submit the completed Risk Assessment form
For-profit businesses should offer a paid internship opportunity
- Instances where an hourly wage cannot be paid, interns must enroll in a 3-unit internship course, as this establishes compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, ensuring CSUSB and our business partners are not at risk of violating the requirements set for by the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.

Posting and Intern Selection:
- The internship position will be posted on JHBC Internships – Current Openings, where students can review and apply. Email and LinkedIn may also be utilized to share opportunities
- Résumés of interest are forwarded to the employer contact for review
- Employer contacts candidates to schedule interviews and select an intern
- Employer notifies the JHBC Internship Coordinator of selection
- Forms - Employers
After an Intern is Selected:
If the intern is required, or chooses to enroll in an internship course, the following items are required:
- Supervisors must establish strong goals and objectives with the intern
- Goals and objectives should be project-based, hands-on tasks that incorporate aspects of the intern's major/concentration, while meeting the needs of the organization
- The JHBC Internship Coordinator sends an email to verify the reported goals and objectives with host supervisor
If the intern does not enroll in an internship course, nothing further is required.
At the Onset of the Internship:
- Interns will be supervised, trained, mentored, and placed in a safe work environment
- Interns will be provided orientation/on-boarding
- Ensure the intern is aware of their role, responsibilities and supervisor
Students earn course credit by completing 150 hours (which requires submission of signed timesheets), submitting mid-reflection and final-reflection report to the internship coordinator during the term
At the conclusion:
- Provide constructive feedback
- Consider completing the internship survey - emailed at the conclusion of the internship
If assistance is needed, please contact Jessica Chavez, JHBC Student Success and Internship Coordinator.
