What our Interns Say
“A wonderful program! They offered resume workshops, mock interviews, and were involved throughout the whole interview process. Even during the actual internship I could turn to any of the CW staff members and ask questions, or get advice. I really do feel like this whole process has set me up for a lot of great work.”
“This internship is going above and beyond my expectations. I have the opportunity to use skills from my previous writing degree and my current accounting degree!”
“I definitely feel supported, that is one thing that I have really appreciated about my mentors is that they always say that if I need anything or if I have a question or concern, I can go talk with them.”
