Surveying Intern Template
Interns see your onboarding, management, and culture with fresh eyes, then leave before you can ask what they noticed. Collect input on mentorship, workload, learning, and the overall internship experience.
An internship is a two-way tryout, but most companies only evaluate the intern. Interns spend months inside your onboarding, your team, and your culture, then walk away with important team and organization insights you never collect. Ignore or forgo their feedback and you lose the chance to strengthen your program and sharpen your offer. Typeform's intern survey template gives program managers a clear way to learn what the internship was really like.
The survey covers the whole internship: onboarding, mentorship, workload, skills gained, and whether the experience matched the pitch. Typeform walks interns through one question at a time, so feedback feels like a conversation, not an exit exam. Conditional logic adapts the survey based on each intern's answers. An intern who felt unsupported explains where mentorship fell short, while a happy one names what made the program work.
Customize the questions to fit your program, your industry, and the goals you set for interns. Send it near the end of the internship by email, or share it during the final review. Every response flows into Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier, so program gaps surface fast. You improve next year's internship using feedback from this year's interns, and retain more of the talent you spent all summer training.
An intern survey measures how interns experienced their time at your company. It captures feedback on onboarding, mentorship, workload, skills gained, and whether the internship met expectations. Program managers that run intern surveys consistently improve the experience and convert more interns into full-time employees.
Interns are one of your best sources of future hires, and one of your loudest voices on campus. A neglected intern rarely returns, and they tell classmates and campus recruiters exactly why. That reputation quietly shrinks your applicant pool for years, long before you connect it to a bad intern program. An intern survey identifies program flaws that can protect both your talent pipeline and your name on campus.
Cover the full internship experience:
- How smooth and welcoming the onboarding felt
- The quality of mentorship and day-to-day support
- Whether the workload was meaningful and manageable
- The skills and experience they actually gained
- Whether the internship matched what was promised
Enable anonymous responses so interns can be candid about a manager or mentor without risking a future reference. Typeform collects submissions without names or emails, which matters when interns still hope for a job offer. Interns share the real problems only when honesty can't cost them a recommendation.
Ask interns about their experience and their interest in returning, so you spot strong and interested candidates early. Someone who loved the work and felt supported is far more likely to accept an offer. Use their feedback to solve what frustrated them, then make a full-time offer before someone else does.
