International SEED Intern

Honestly everything. I loved that we were able to have the freedom to decide our everyday schedules and figure out what was best for us and our clients. We were able to gain real world experience by teaching everyday and helping others become their own business owners.

The only thing I would have liked to be different is a little bit more organization when we first got in country. However, I know that it has since been improved.
Advice
This is the greatest type of internship because you are woking with real people in the real world. You are getting hands on experience everyday and helping people break the poverty cycle by creating businesses that create jobs. I would 10/10 recommend this internship.

USU Extension Intern
May - August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
I enjoyed being able to actually get to know and work with kids in Salt Lake County. My favorite part was definitely State Contests.
What I wish was different
I wish my boss would have been better at communicating with me. It was difficult to fully do my job with inadequate communication.
Advice
When your boss doesn't give you adequate information and you've already reached out for more information, don't do it again. Apparently that looks bad to them, like you can't handle the responsibilities they've given you(even if that's not the case). Just do your best with what they gave you. It will most likely work out and will make you look good. And if any issues did crop up because of lack of communication, that would be on your boss, especially if you tried to reach out for better instruction once before.

GEAR UP Camp Mentor
June - July 2019 • Logan, UT
What I liked
I loved that I got to work with high school freshmen and give them some of my personal advice that I feel will make a difference in their high school and college experiences. I enjoyed being around all of my coworkers and bosses. It was super fun and definitely worth the long days.
What I wish was different
I kind of wish we had a better idea of how our days were going to pan out but that's the fun in doing a summer camp, you never know what to expect and it a journey for everyone.
Advice
One piece of advice is to have fun! This job wasn't about being super professional, don't be afraid to talk to the students and get to know them on a personal level because you will make a difference to some of them. Also, you should like to do activities because you have to engage and interact with the children.
