Tech Intern 4

May 2021 • Richland, WA

What I liked

I liked everything about the internship, I learned so much during my time and I had a great mentor that was always willing to help me. They paid me extremely well and my work had a real impact on a project. There are also many resources available for interns.

What I wish was different

I wished the internship would have been in-person as opposed to remote, but I understand why it was not this past summer.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask for help and I wish I would have asked more questions throughout my time.

Technology Intern

August 2021 • Richland, WA

What I liked

Being online has made it easy to attend class and still participate! My internship has allowed me to learn more about construction, and to train for a HERS certification!

What I wish was different

Advice

An online opportunity can be just as informative as an in-person one! I think I've learned a lot already that could make me more useful in a construction position just from working on the BASC website that a hands-on construction internship may not have a chance to cover.

OMICS lab intern

May 2021 • Richland, WA

What I liked

I really liked learning about cell culture and growing cells.

What I wish was different

I wish the environment was more welcoming and open. I also wish that someone would bother to train me how to do actual lab work instead of what I've currently been doing.

Advice

Work environment makes or breaks a job. It really sucks when the job is exciting but the environment is one that is hard to succeed in.
