I'm just going to assume that you landed here because you're planning to or thinking about hiring an intern for your small business. Interns and internships programs are awesome, especially if they are run well. Everyone has high hopes for their internship programs. Often times though interns aren't used to their full ability. Which is not good for the intern or your business. There is nothing worse than an  intern sitting  starting off into space or a business owner feeling that nothing was accomplished. So instead of having your intern go fetch lunch, make coffee or do other pointless grunt work, how about we use their full potential and actually get some valuable work done?

But what can interns really do? Selecting a project or assignments for your intern can be daunting. But don't underestimate this group of eager talent. With some guidance, they are more than capable of taking on some pretty complex projects and assignments that you would do if you had time. They also bring a different skill set to the table so they can successfully complete projects that you aren't well versed. So instead of hiring a contractor, you could assign this to an intern. The possibilities are virtually endless. However, this list of 58 project ideas  is a great place to start to maximize your internship experience, give your interns meaningful work experience and have the most productive program ever.  Try one and let me know how it goes.
