Robert Shindell on SHRM Northern California
Everyone knows the value of internships, but does your organization run a strong intern program that maintains a pipeline of highly qualified candidates for full-time roles? Internships and other forms of experiential education help students make a seamless transition to the world of work and are a perfect vehicle to increase retention rates, complete short-term projects, and identify future hires.
On April 5th at The City College of San Francisco, The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, SHRM Northern California, the California Internship & Works Experience Association and San Francisco State University will welcome Dr. Robert Shindell from Intern Bridge, the nation’s leading research & consulting firms to share a newfound approach to internships based on in-depth research and proven strategies.

- Effectively implement an impactful internship program;
- Identify future hires through a no-strings-attached 12-week interview;
- Create and maintain a pipeline of highly qualified and educated full-time job candidates;
- Increase your organization’s brand awareness on university and college campuses;
- And much, much more!

“Great session. We have an established program with 70+ summer interns at more than 15 locations but I still learned a lot about how we can improve our program. Walking away with a list of ways to improve and action items; great session and well worth the time.”

Provides clear instructions and expects you to follow the rubric. Gives solid feedback on assignments which leads to improvements. Assignments given increase your knowledge of the subject matter. Professor Shindell is organized and thoughtful with feedback. I would definitely take another course with this professor.
MBA540R5143 was my first MBA level class and Professor Shindell went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed to succeed. The professor and I were in constant communication through email and he was willing to video chat whenever was easiest. Professor Shindell has high expectations for class while going out of his way to show he cares
Robert Shindell is a very passionate instructor. He cares about his students and the material he is teaching. He is accessible outside of class and quote helpful. I enjoyed the class and I would take anything he is teaching.
Dr. Robert is incredible! He actually takes the time to respond to our video submissions with his own video and has really great feedback. He also is very easy to talk to and is great at guiding your ideas into a targeted approach for assignments and the final project. I really enjoyed having him as a professor and wish others were more like him!

Robert Shindell and The Leadership Challenge
Leadership is not about personality; it’s about behavior—an observable set of skills and abilities. And when we first set out to discover what great leaders actually do when they are at their personal best, we collected thousands of stories from ordinary people—the experiences they recalled when asked to think of a peak leadership experience. When leaders are at their personal best there are five core practices common to all: they Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and last but certainly not least, they Encourage the Heart.
Robert Shindell and the TOTAL INTERNSHIP MANAGEMENT, SUPERVISORS HANDBOOK -
Your organization has decided to take on interns – what will you, as a potential supervisor, do with them?
If your answer to this question involves making coffee and taking lunch orders, you’ll be sure to find yourself with unhappy interns, a frustrated staff, and a program that fails to take advantage of the full potential your student-workers can offer. Let’s face it – recruiting has changed, and “top talent” starts out in the top internship programs.
