Final Internship Report, Evaluation & Career Guidance

Closing out an internship well matters as much as starting it well — a strong final report and honest self-evaluation help you and future employers understand what you gained.

• Final report structure: Overview of the organization and your role, key tasks/projects, skills gained, challenges overcome, and reflections.
• Self-evaluation: Honestly assess your own growth — where you started, where you ended, and what you'd still like to improve.
• Supervisor evaluation: A formal evaluation from your supervisor is valuable evidence for future job or program applications — request one before finishing.
• Choosing your next step: Use what you learned during the internship to decide which Rescue Academy track (or career direction) fits you best going forward.
