Hello! I am from the Superior Wisconsin Essentia Health site, I have a list for an intern I have in the Rehab department. Maybe this could help with some ideas for your site? I am also looking for more tasks in the Rehab department here if you have any suggestions. Thank you- Carol

Transition Week Ideas

Hello Lisa,
At our site in Northern Wisconsin, we went to the local Job Center and had our interns sign up for their program and/or learn about it and what is offered. We had a manger at National Bank of Commerce come in to speak to our interns about getting a bank account [checking/savings] and give them information on pros and cons of their specific business. We took a trip to the YMCA, they gave us a tour, info on applications and sliding fee scales, healthy living, and they allowed us to take part in a 45 minute exercise class.
I hope this can give you some potential ideas!

One thing my site found helpful was that the school provided a small set of lockers, it was a 4x4 cube locker setup that had a key for each locker. Each intern was responsible for maintaining and cleaning/organizing their lockers and making sure to be responsible for their keys.

Getting away from "Volunteer"

Try contacting your Host Business Liaison. That is who we go through and she communicates with the departments for us. The volunteers is a department we have out interns in but they are in the department for 5 days a week for the whole time. Our interns work along side volunteers and staff. We are at St. Marys, Essentia Health in WI
