The methodology of supervision will be:

• Adaptability: the capacity to be flexible adapting to different situations and to accept the changes in a positive and constructive manner. 
• Team Spirit: the capacity to work in a team. 
• Initiative: the capacity to present and suggest ideas or methods to reach goals. 
• Planning: the capacity to define goals and priorities when developing tasks, evaluating time and costs.

3. The We Find Group Monthly Coaching Meetings will be used to develop and “Internship Final Report” that will be provided to the intern at the end of the internship and outlines the recommendations for the positive career evolution of the intern.

The objective of the We Find Group Monthly Coaching Meeting will be to ensure that the intern is learning properly and getting high added value from the internship. The We Find Group Coordinator will get first the feedback from the Department Managers and then have a one-on-one meeting with the intern to provide feedback about strengths, weaknesses and define an “Internship Improvement Action Plan” that will be implemented during the internship. 

The phases of this internship are as follow:  

1. Week 1 (from June 1 to June 5) In-depth induction program to get to know the team and familiarise the intern with the role and core operations of the organization. The intern will have the opportunity to learn about applications and product management. 
2. Week 2 until week 5 (from June 8 to July 3) The intern will start to take responsibility for tasks as directed by the Department Managers. During this phase, the intern will provide the first feedback to We Find Group, so that We Find Group can assist in further coaching of the intern. 
3. From week 6 until week 7 (From July 6 to July 17) Improvement of the Intern in the activities and operations, helping the intern to improve competencies and performance. The intern will build on their tasks and responsibilities based on their skills and areas of interest.
