In the words of past interns:
“In my internship site, the interns were trusted with important work which was nice. We were given a range of tasks that required us to use different skills which was also good. I learned a lot of practical skills, such as working in groups, managing multiple tasks at once, working with an employer, speaking with other companies, and knowing what not to do in certain cases. I worked at the same table as my supervisor and could ask him questions whenever I needed to. He was very responsive and we became close by the end of the summer.” - Jack R., Software Developer, from Princeton University
