The future is not in the building.
53 no-fluff ideas for remote and hybrid internships that actually work. Because moving a bad internship to Teams only creates a bad internship with worse audio.
No shipping. No waiting.
Remote does not kill an internship. Vagueness does.
Remote and hybrid internships are not worse than office internships. They simply fall apart faster when nobody has designed them.
The building used to hide an impressive amount of improvisation. Zoom is less discreet.
Practical answers. No digital incense.
Short lessons you can use before your next check-in, onboarding or slightly desperate message in the team chat.
Prevent digital oblivion
Keep interns visible, involved and meaningfully connected without scheduling a meeting about every meeting.
Build useful rituals
Turn awkward calls into predictable moments for direction, reflection and actual human contact.
Make culture visible
Show how work really happens when the office tour, coffee machine and overheard conversations disappear.
Set boundaries
Create clarity about availability, output and responsibility without installing a tiny manager in someone’s laptop.
Design onboarding
Introduce people, tools, norms and expectations asynchronously without producing a digital filing cabinet.
Build real trust
Give autonomy, feedback and responsibility even when you never share a desk, train journey or suspicious office sandwich.
The intern is not the implementation plan.
This book does not shift responsibility for internship quality onto the student. It treats internships as a deliberate investment by the organisation.
Useful, apparently.
Three reviews. Which is already two more external opinions than most organisational change programmes start with.
“Fantastic book.”
“53 tips? That’s one a week for more than a year.”
“Maarten is the internship expert of the Netherlands.”
Anyone responsible for an intern. Officially or accidentally.
Managers and mentors who want remote check-ins to produce more than “all good here”.
HR and early-career teams designing remote or hybrid internship programmes.
Companies starting with internships and hoping to skip the avoidable nonsense.
Educators working with vocational, applied-sciences or university students.
53 ideas. Zero padding.
Browse the contents and start wherever your internship currently makes the strangest noise. Onboarding, trust, output, mentoring, culture or communication: there is probably a page for it.
