How will you support learners in completing the project?

Sharon believes in supporting and coaching her interns, while giving them the space to be independent. At the beginning of the internship, monthly goals are established. Those monthly goals are then broken down into weekly attainable goals.

Sharon likes to offer variety of tasks to the interns and welcomes constant feedback or suggestions on the projects the interns are working on. Once a week, Sharon and the interns will meet via zoom to review progress, talk about improvements, suggestions, feedback, etc.

The interns are very involved in the process and will feel valued and heard. Sharon loves the interns she works with, and puts her heart and soul into mentoring them.
