Abstract
Employers often provide brief training for their workers and value quick learning from employees. Such expectations are not ideal for social work student interns, who are also developing professional skills and practicing theoretical application while adjusting to the internship work environment. This qualitative study capitalized on the internship experience of the author at Kaiser Permanente to discover what training materials were most relevant and useful to social work interns, and organized those materials into a social work student intern manual. This project was then evaluated by 5 previous and current social work interns at Kaiser Permanente, and each participant was interviewed on the quality of the manual. The findings from this study show that the manual contained useful and relevant materials, and that the manual would be a helpful tool for new social work interns.
