What is an internship checkpoint?

An Internship Checkpoint is a scheduled review or assessment during an internship program where interns, supervisors, and sometimes mentors discuss the intern’s progress, achievements, and areas for improvement. These checkpoints help ensure that interns are meeting their learning objectives and allow for feedback, support, and any necessary course corrections. They can be formal or informal and typically occur at set intervals, such as mid-internship or at key milestones. The goal is to maximize the intern’s learning experience and ensure both the intern and organization benefit from the placement.
