Checklist for Employers: Getting Ready For Summer Interns

Checklist This Out! Here is your May Checklist!

The ultimate guide through the steps in the Summer of Tech process for Employers.  If you are considering participating in Summer of Tech this year - this is your "go-to" guide to keep on top of the process and key dates that you need to know in order to plan ahead of time.

What the heck is this checklist thing?

Summer of Tech's aspiration is to empower New Zealand’s diverse tech students to bridge the gap between learning and earning, by making it easy and attractive for New Zealand employers to hire them. This checklist is just one of the many ways we are keen to help you hire interns and graduates. Each month we will add your "need to know" key actions so you can plan and keep on top of the process. As we go we will add tips and tricks for that step. Regardless of whether you have been through Summer of Tech before, we hope you will still find value in checking this monthly.New to Summer of Tech?- register here or contact our team to find out more here.

May Tips & Tricks

• Want to hire before summer? You can list graduate or part-time roles at any time of year. List a "SoTJobs" role. Contact our team here for more information.
• Reach out to your colleagues. It's always good to get support internally for the internship process. If you aren't in HR, you can involve them too! You never know which area of the business might like an intern too! Start chatting to them. If you need some neat stats about New Zealand Internships you can check out our recent report. Alternatively, have one of our team present to yours to explain the process.
• Attract the right students. We have a blog post here to help you with writing your profile - totally worth a read.

That's it for May! Remember we are only one click away of you get stuck or need to ask a question!
