Once an intern is accepted into the Washington Internship Program, he or she need not worry about getting a good placement. Our commitment to students is such that we guarantee each person a good job within his or her field. We only have interns apply for positions they want, and staff members from the One-World Washington Internship Program contact places in Washington on the students' behalf and represents their candidacy. We also get a contract for each intern in order to insure that all internships are substantive. When applying to the Washington Internship Program, you aren't gambling with your future. We promise to get each individual a suitable, challenging placement. If interns are unsure about what they would like to do, counseling is provided to help with the selection. Very rarely an intern is dissatisfied after starting an internship in Washington, in which case a new position will be found for the intern. To make sure that internships are as good as they can be, staff members stay in contact with supervisors and students throughout the internship to elicit constructive feedback. Suggestions from supervisors are relayed to interns, and student requests or complaints are presented to supervisors so changes can be made that benefit everyone. Periodic progress reports ensure that lines of communication remain open. The director of the Washington Internship Program serves as a liaison officer who presents the case of each intern to bosses on the job. Whenever interns are timid about raising questions or asking for favors, Dr. Bayer will represent the intern's best interests.
