I got to learn how to act in a professional office. It was all over Zoom, but it still gave me a good introduction to that world.

Pathways Intern
May 2017 • Norfolk, VA
What I liked
I loved that I learned information that is directly related to what I would like to do. I was able to work on a multimillion dollar construction project that involved 3 major parties, including the one I worked for. It gave me realistic experience and expectations for what work will be like after graduation. There was also a huge focus on how much we learned and the environment was very comfortable.
What I wish was different
I wish it was closer to school so I could work during the school year.
Advice
Don’t be shy and always try to research to learn more than what they taught you. Use the information you gain and dive in deeper into the subject.
