A Documentation System for Remote Internship Programs

Documentation should follow the movement from onboarding and direction through planning, execution, feedback, revision, evidence, and handoff. The structure should help an intern see what comes next.

Use one authoritative location per record

Meeting links, final decisions, approved artifacts, and current handoffs should each have a defined source of truth. Links may connect systems while preserving clear authority.

Design for review and export

Authorized reviewers need search, filters, status views, and complete exports. Interns need access to their own records and a clear understanding of how the program uses them.
