Great internship opportunity

Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Paid Summer Internship Opportunity Available for College and University Students  The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), a federal-state partnership that promotes economic and community development in the 13-state Appalachian Region, is seeking applicants for paid summer 2024 internships in Washington, D.C.!    The six-week internship is available to all current students and recent graduates attending a two- or four-year college or university in the Appalachian region. In alignment with ARC’s mission to help Appalachia reach socioeconomic parity with the nation, applications are encouraged from underrepresented groups including Appalachia’s 15 Historically Black Colleges and Universities, first generation students and recent graduates, and students who live in or are from economically distressed or at-risk counties in Appalachian North Carolina.    In addition to being paid, ELEVATE interns receive employer-sponsored housing at a D.C. university, commuting benefits, and have educational explorations of D.C. landmarks. Selected participants will spend six weeks at ARC’s office supporting one of 10 divisions based on their career interests.     Dates for each cohort are below:  Cohort 1: May 27 to July 5, 2024  Cohort 2: June 24 to August 2, 2024    North Carolina is excited that our students have an opportunity to work on meaningful development projects that drive Appalachian NC – and the entire region – forward. Apply by February 29, 2024 at www.arc.gov/elevate.

As we look back at the summer, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our interns for their valuable contributions to our team. Their presence has truly brightened our days, and as their time with us concludes, we're thrilled to reflect on the remarkable moments they've shared. Next up: Brady Allen who interned with our Parks Permits Department! Q: What is one thing you learned from your internship at Montgomery Parks? A: "I've developed an understanding of the importance of each division and how they all work together to help run a multi-million-dollar park system." Q: What is your proudest accomplishment/moment from your internship? A: "I am quite proud of my contributions to the updates on our park fields. I was able to help determine current field sizes and their associated sport, which will help customers better understand our fields during the reservation process. " Q: What was your favorite experience? A: "I thoroughly enjoyed using satellite images to look at and study our fields. This experience allowed me to recognize and appreciate all of the amazing facilities our residents have at their disposal. " Q: Any advice for new interns? A: "Don't be afraid to ask questions. At first, you are not familiar with all the policies of the office. By asking questions it helped me become so much more familiar with how things are run. Your coworkers are there to help you and trust me, they are more than willing to help!"

The experience thus far has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to apply my academic knowledge in a practical setting.

So many great internships!!! Important for STU Spo-Ad students to know…You need to do an internship for credit (like a class) AND you should do multiple internships to advance your skills and network (doesn’t have to be for credit). Experiential learning is the key to career success as it helps you build your resume and your professional network. #getinvolved #internships #experientiallearning #networking
