AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY INTERN

TESTIMONIAL

“The internship taught me so much. I have become a responsible, reliable and cooperative person. I learned what it will be like once I have a real job. I created a bond with the people that I work with. The internship gives me an advantage when it comes to getting a job and applying for jobs. I can go back and apply for a job at my internship site.”

“Today I sat in and ran the audio board for an interview session with some of the leading people in technology. It was fun to hear them talk about the latest ideas in the I.T. field. You really need to be a people person to work in the I.T. field because you are always around clients and guests. You need to be a problem solver to fix things you haven’t seen before. I am definitely a better person because of my internship. I learned that I am a people person and that I like to work in a team.”
