What past participants are saying: 
Being part of the Intern Experience last summer helped me better shape my goals for different internship opportunities. It also opened up my eyes to the extent of the intern network that has been established here in Fargo. - Sena Bizuwork, Intelligent InSites
I'm grateful that I participated in the Intern Experience because....it was an awesome way to grow professionally. When you’re in a group like this, you’re able to connect with people who are having similar experiences and learn from what they’re doing. It was awesome to have that extra community and to be able to share challenges and successes. Most of the topics we covered were things I had wanted to improve on but had no idea where to start. This program is basically the best professional development I’ve ever done. - Rachel Neumiller, Greater Fargo Moorhead EDC
One thing I learned and applied at my job was how to self-evaluate my skill set and determine which areas I need to improve upon. - Alex Job, Eide Bailly LLC
Being a part of the Intern Experience last summer helped me to identify my strengths and weaknesses in an environment with my peers. I found that many of the students in the program encountered similar (if not the same) difficulties as I had throughout the summer. The Intern Experience gave me that vital connection point with my peers, which is essential to growing as a professional in any industry or field. - Justin Odney, Barry Foundation
