So, I say the major skill for an intern to have is knowledge of the behavior required to come up with a properly structured understanding of the product. To be more specific, knowledge of the behavior required to come up with a rigorous understanding of the end users goals to be accomplished within the scope of the product, the individual tasks to accomplish each of these goals, and most importantly, an understanding of the interrelationships between those tasks.

Just one problem - by the time the intern builds that, the internship
is likely over, at which point the intern never gets to apply the
knowledge and the company hiring the intern never gets to beneft from
their knowledge.
