TDEC Internship Experience

The process of finding an internship was very stressful for me. I honestly had no idea where to start or even what I was interested in. It took me many weeks to do research into different facilities that had internships available. After calling tons of organizations I finally interviewed at one that felt right for me. The interview took place with Laura Crain, who I also interviewed for this essay. The internship is at the McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition.

I believe that interning in the Environmental Stewardship program presents the best opportunity to help me build a foundation for what I want to do. Resolving issues like climate change adaptation and greening supply chains involves engaging multiple stakeholders. To mitigate the effects of global warming, it is imperative to consider environmental, economic, and political issues. These problems have multiple dimensions that require people that can work within and across these various subject areas. My second choice is the Small Islands internship because it likewise combines issues of governance and environmental challenges. However, this program is focused on the disproportional impacts that climate change will have on small islands like rising sea levels and

As an accounting major, I would have preferred to intern for a company that would utilize my accounting skills. There were not that many accounting and finance opportunities that were offered for this semester. Sadly, there was a student who dropped the internship due to the lack of accounting firms who were interested in taking on an intern. However, the internship organization was flexible and accommodating to all the interns. Chris Gaines has been a vital part of the internship program. My experience has been positive due to Chris Gaines direct interaction during weeks where we met as a class and always readily in

For my internship, I served under the Allegheny County Health Department in Pittsburgh, PA. I served as the National Health Corps Member for the Women, Infants, and Children Program as their Care Coordinator for all nine offices. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a supplemental nutrition agency that targets pregnant and postpartum women and young children ages 5 and under who are at risk of malnutrition. My supervisor Annie Nagy along with my mentors in the office made sure I was able to receive all of the materials and resources I would need to have a complete and successful internship.

I have been interested in Technology and certain aspects of Science since I was a child. As I became older I came to a realization of how much I love Technology; I began to excel in my technology and engineering classes but not do as great in my science classes. I began to loathe science as I took upon the love of Engineering. As I have researched different types of engineering in previous years, I have stumbled across Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. I have decided instead of seeing science a challenge I cannot overcome I should work harder to be better at the subject. Therefore, I can combine my love for the planet and horticulture with my love for technology and engineering. Having an internship at USDA as a Senior will further help me achieve my goal of having a career in the STEM field. I feel having an Internship my senior year will cause me to further succeed as the research I will hopefully be doing can cause me to grasp a better understanding of the different types of careers open to me in the future.

I selected this particular internship because it revolves around education and communication skills, both of which are featured in my internship. This internship focusses on “informal science education and engaging the public about science”. There are a few similarities between this internship and mine. Science education is the primary goal of this internship and my internship focusses on teaching urban ecology. The second similarity is that you must be good at presenting information you have been previously trained on.

The goals I have going into this new internship opportunity include learning about what Planning and Zoning does on a day-to-day basis and the array of jobs the employees have. Being interested in the natural resources field, I am really hoping to gain some experience that includes some aspects of natural resources. I know it will be different from Camp Ripley in what they do, but I am still excited to see what other jobs are out there that I can learn from and maybe get a better idea in what I want to do after high school.

As a paralegal intern, handling administrative duties such as scheduling while quickly learning and applying new knowledge to support the firm’s immigration caseload. Helped in implementing computerize filing system and interviewed clients for case intake. During the internship, got hands on practice with all the legal procedures and got the practical done with the theories which I learned in school courses. Mr. Sharif would take me to the Huntsville prison to help in translating and have proper communication with the inmates. I am an immigrant from Pakistan so the multicultural clients feel more comfortable in approaching the attorney and staff. The experience was extremely self-learning

As a result of the success achieved during the first year of the IPE internship, the DHHS and USG open the internship to more academic disciplines such as Criminal Justice and Health and Health Information Management. The MC DHHS work with the faculty to ensure that students participating in this internship are able to visit site such as the Linkage to Learning at Summit Hall Elementary School, Homeless Men’s Shelter, Dennis Avenue Health Center to name a few. Furthermore, communication between the faculty at Universities at Shady Grove and the staff at the Department of Health and Human Services ensure that the learning objective in the IPE curriculum are an essential part of this internship. Through site visit to the various branches of the

When I was asked if I would like to do an internship with the Tennessee States legislators for school, I was insertion on what it would in tale. But I applied interview and revived a slot with the 110th General Assembly. I came in to this internship with no expectation and or any real knowledgeable about how state government truly worked other then what I have been told in school and or by the news. The reality of how the state of Tennessee if govern is nothing of whatever notion I may have had. Some good and some bad, But all has been and eye opening experience.

The main task of my internship was to gain more experience and knowledge of our respective field. Overall, the experience proved to be both enjoyable and rewarding. During this internship I used the skills that I learned from my Medical Assistant class and used them in the real world scenarios at the hospital. Also while I there I was exposed to new experiences. Such as performing Urine test on Drug and alcohol patients. For this procedure I had to stand in the restroom with the patient's and watch them urinate into a cup. I had to stand in the restroom with the patients because in the past they try and cheat the system. For example

When deciding on our internship project, we wanted to do something that would be useful for future interns in the DFCS office. We were very nervous the first few weeks due to not knowing what to expect or what the staff expected of us. Our internship is a large portion of our education within the Community/Public Health major, so we wanted to make the best of it. We had many questions, which contributed to our nerves and were often afraid the case managers and supervisors would not have time to answer them. We asked the questions anyway, which facilitated learning along the way. With that in mind we came up with The Intern’s Guidebook to help ease the nerves of future interns and guide them through the internship experience. This in turn would

Over the past 10 weeks, I have worked at Deloitte & Touche, LLP as an Audit Intern. Overall the internship was an important learning experience and invaluable in my professional development. I was able to gain real work experience in audit and network with many people at different stages in their careers. There were many Deloitte-sponsored intern events in addition to the regular daily work I performed on my three engagements.

It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.
