Hi Melissa, Have you considered that requiring business professional dress would be prohibitively expensive for interns? Most students operate on a shoestring budget--heaven knows I did--and needing a business professional wardrobe might be enough to compel them to pass up an internship. Frankly, unless you're offering a very generous stipend, I think it's putting too much of a financial burden on them.

We currently have all of our interns wear a uniform that consists of a polo and khakis but are considering changing to professional attire. I'd like to know what issues have arisen for those of you who require professional dress. The uniform is certainly an easy way to go for everyone, but does it teach students about dressing for the professional world? And is the lesson worth it for the staff who have to monitor the interns' clothing? Thanks.
