II. Potential Interns should fill out the Intern Application form to receive an online account and create a personal profile.
III. The Intern Application form will be sent to the Program Director for approval
IV. Once their application is approved, interns can apply for internships by submitting their profile through the website to host organizations.
V. The decision to hire the intern is entirely at the discretion of the host organization. Communication between the Host Organization and the applying intern can be done through the website, if the parties so choose.
VI. Reminder: Interns will be responsible for the duties assigned to them by their host organization as well as the requirements of the Internship Program itself (see Intern Code of Conduct).


TERMINATION OF INTERN/INTERNSHIP:

I. Once hired, the decision to terminate the employment of an intern is at the discretion of the host organization. The intern also reserves the right to resign from the internship. The Internship Program retains only the authority to terminate the intern's or host organization's web account in the Program if they violate the terms of the Program.
II. Refusal to follow the Intern Code of Conduct is grounds for immediate termination of an intern's account.
III. Refusal of the host organization to abide by its terms of employment agreement or to follow the Internship Program Standards is grounds for immediate termination of that host organization's account in the Internship Program.
IV. The authority to terminate the account of an intern or host organization is vested in the Internship Program Director. However, any such action will be reviewed by the Oversight Committee, and can be appealed.
