Internship at Site

During your internship assignment, your behavior does not only represent you, but also it reflects the UAEU image and its reputation in the labor market.  It is your responsibility to maintain appropriate conduct and avoid the following behaviors:

  • Sleeping on the job.
  • Coming to work late or leaving early.
  • Taking a sick day without calling.
  • Using the company phone to make personal calls.
  • Surfing the internet, chatting, or working on other personal projects during work time.
  • Having a lousy attitude.
  • Failing to follow directions of your supervisor.

Now let's consider professional behaviors expected from a UAEU student at work:

  • Report to work regularly on time.
  • Notify your supervisor immediately and report to your college coordinator if an emergency causes you to be late or absent.
  • Abide by regulations and working hours as defined by the employer.
  • Conduct yourself in a professional and business-like manner.
  • Handle disputes and conflicts in a mature and professional fashion.
  • Consult your supervisor if unsure about procedures or expectations related to the assignment.
  • Do your best to contribute innovative ideas and participate as a valuable member of the work team.

Remember that making a sincere effort to produce high-quality work will contribute significantly toward your success as an internship employee and your professional skills development for your future career.
