Importance of Internships: By Christine Nichols
As a graduate student who has interned for two different organizations, I am a big supporter of internships. While I was an undergrad, I worked part-time in the food service industry to pay bills. As I approached my senior year, I began to wonder how I would transition from a manual labor position to an office job. With no professional experience, I felt that my opportunities would be limited even with a Bachelor’s degree in hand.
Post Transformation., ADE has been able to save $4,274,988.11 in the areas of Digital Transformation (Intranet Apps), Information Systems Development and Human Resources.
