What current SCiP students say about their internships:

“I learned new skills that I can bring forward into any employment sector. My organization treated me with respect, and I felt productive and that I made a positive difference.”

“I learned a lot during my internship and gained valuable experience. Overall, I think completing the internship was worthwhile, as it will open the door to future career opportunities.”

“Valuable addition to the resume. A great cross over between volunteering and working. Easy to land a position because there aren’t as many requirements as there are for a job.”

“I’m actually applying skills/concepts/methods that I learned in some of my courses, and the experience in an office setting will prove to be invaluable as I pursue career opportunities that may take place in a similar setting.”
