What is the ideal duration?
In our experience, 12 to 20 week duration is recommended. This gives you enough time to get to know the people, business culture, the work, etc. Furthermore, the possibility of having interesting tasks/projects will increase if you stay longer. Host organizations may feel it is not worth the time to train for more complex tasks/project if the intern is leaving after a short time. During the 12 week and longer time, you can complete relevant tasks/project(s) for your host organization and have the time you need to develop the relationships and trust you will need to gain all of the information you require.
