Hello, I have had some interns as well.
Firstly you need to be lucky to get one that is independent and can work without too much instruction. Secondly, you need them for longer than a few weeks. The ideal is someone who works a few days a week for an extended period. That way you can do your own work and still have enough time to plan your training with the intern. For me 12 weeks is a minimum assignment, but you need to be careful to pick someone who is a fit for your business and your training style.
