I think the experience is worth way more
than the credits could ever be but at
the same time you're earning that credit
so you're not losing time here at school
you're still on track to graduate when
you get back in the next semester.
This internship just helps me realize
that that's a career I can really see
myself in. If I I can work a full 40
hours, 45 hours, 50 hour a week at it and
not get bored of it and that was so
helpful to realize. If I had not
participated in the Capital Scholars
Program, many of the opportunities that
came after that program would not have
happened. And making connections is the
best thing that you can do. Having a
degree and having an experience as an
intern on the hill is great but until
you make those personal connections -
which this program allows you to do very
well - it's gonna be a lot easier for me
to find a job working where I want to
work. Experiencing new things in a
professional situation but also making a
difference in people's lives directly.
It allows for a lot of personal development. It was a fantastic experience
The Capital Scholars Program has helped
jump start me on my future.
The Legislative Internship really helped us
get our future internships as well
because it looked really good to have a
full-time position doing policy work on
your resume. So take advantage of it, network, learn grow and enjoy it because
you'll never regret it
