Organisations, have summer interns starting soon? 

This guide is for you too. Most new starters won't ask what's expected of them. They'll guess, get some of it wrong, and quietly lose confidence. Handing them this before day one saves everyone that awkward first month. Download it and send it to your interns, grads, or anyone new to the workforce. It's free, and it'll make a real difference to how they settle in.
