Internship Supervisors

Internship supervisors are essential to Schaeffer Fellows’ professional growth. They set the tone for the internship by offering guidance, mentorship, and constructive feedback that help Fellows navigate their roles and responsibilities. Supervisors create opportunities for skill development, expose interns to real-world projects aligned with their career interests, and foster a collaborative environment that builds confidence and enhances workplace competencies.

In addition, supervisors help Fellows expand their professional networks by connecting them with key industry contacts. By guiding interns through workplace dynamics and providing ongoing feedback, they ensure a meaningful and rewarding experience. Ultimately, strong supervisors play a critical role in shaping the Fellows’ career trajectory, supporting both their professional and personal growth, and maintaining connections after the internship.
