The supervisor's role in an internship coordinator position is vital in ensuring the successful execution of internship programs and providing valuable learning experiences for students. Supervisors should provide monitoring and support, academic integration, orientation and training, and assessment and evaluation.
It is important for supervisor to share knowledge, manage, and evaluate performance of the intern.
Setting goals, but also making those goals realistic is key. Putting tools in place to ensure the goals are met is vital to the success of the students.

Evaluations need to happen frequently and provide the interns an evaluation to ensure they can meet the goals that are lacking perfection and they may improve. Don't wait until time crunches, and they will become frustrated and have low confidence.

Constant feedback on accomplishments and progress being made in an internship endeavor will open opportunities for professional growth.
A student performing an internship needs supervision from both the school and the business, this needs to be provided so the student doesn't feel lost or like he/she has just been tossed to the wolves (so to speak). An internship can speak volumes about the company, both good and bad, as well as the educational institution. Providing support to the student not only shows concern and care about the student both professionally and personally but also shows belief in the student.
The intern supervisor has many roles, including supporting, mentoring, leading, and evaluating the intern during their time in the workplace.
Supervision is important in internships.
Supervising students in the clinical setting is relative to their success in their roles. With adequate feedback and direction, the student can shape into their newly attained roles comfortably.

It is important to assess and evaluate the student learner's performance while at the external site of internship.

The supervision of an intern is potentially complicated, as the intern must be supervised from both the academic and employment perspectives. The on-site supervisor and on-campus internship coordinator must work together to ensure that all of the objectives of the internship are met."
The role of the supervisor is to establish a platform for the intern to be viewed from a place of suppervision, education, and correction. This will give an intern a view of the level of competence needed to successfully carry out their daily duties being able to navigate the rights and wrongs of the position to get the best outcome for the company and the intern.
Supervision and communication is key. Teachers or administraters need to have time to visit students at their internship sites to see what is and is not working well.
