Hear from recent high school interns…
That experience alone made me feel amazing, I really loved being able to communicate with them and just be able to talk to them.
My internship was a wonderful whirlwind. Over a five-week journey I helped a Spain-based company expand its influence into the U.S. by analyzing the American market in relation to the company’s mission and coming up with strategic plans to conduct the expansion
The outcomes from doing this internship have greatly benefitted me in many aspects, the main outcome being gaining more confidence in communicating… . It also gave me a good insight into the importance of the career I plan on doing and the impact that it will have on people, which has ultimately made me more confident in wanting to pursue this type of path in future.
My internship was much deeper than I had originally anticipated, and I acquired much more knowledge than I initially expected. Being able to participate in numerous therapy sessions has helped me to understand psychology in a whole new light beyond the psychology course that I am presently enrolled in.
I feel more empowered in my field as this internship has shown me what exactly it is I enjoy about my chosen field. I especially liked that I had control over the extent of my creativity during the internship itself.
I signed up for this remote internship during my second semester of my Freshman year of university. I was pushed beyond my limits in an international journalism field, and this is exactly what environment I wanted to be immersed in as an intern exploring my interests.
