Difficulty keeping interns engaged working online: Without clear goals, engaging activities and regular interaction, interns can easily lose interest and motivation.
Lack of clear communication: Misunderstanding and delays due to asynchronous communication can lead to frustration and missed deadlines.
Difficulty assessing student performance and project progress: Traditional methods of monitoring performance may not be as effective an a remote setting. Without clear visibility into intern activity and progress, it can be challenging to provide constructive feedback to ensure project completion.
Lowered intern motivation, leading to a decreased quality of work: Disengaged interns are less likely to put in their best effort, resulting in subpar work and missed deadlines.
Wasted Resources: If the program fails to engage the interns to do their best, it is a financial waste. Time is also wasted if interns are not engaged in their work and do not complete it on time. Additionally, frustration among managers can lead to decreased morale and productivity.
Damage to employer brand: Negative experiences can shape interns’ perceptions of your organization and deter future talent from applying.
