The 2024 Rising Generation US Summer Internship Program has ended with many memorable experiences and inspirations for the student interns. Working at various think tanks and international organizations, the students primarily worked on research, writing, data analysis, drafting instructions, and publishing articles.
The host organizations were highly impressed by the interns’ work ethic and contributions during the internship. Moreover, the internship mentors and supervisors described them as mature, exceptional, proactive, and devoted to fulfilling their responsibilities. Based on the feedback from the host organizations, we extracted some of the remarkable qualities of the students that made for a successful internship experience.
Being proactive
The students asked many questions that could help them grow and perform well in their roles. They were not afraid to ask for clarification and feedback and did not shy away from responsibility.
Going above and beyond
They not only fulfilled their assigned responsibilities but also dedicated their knowledge, time, and skills beyond their assigned tasks to maximize their impact on the hosting organization. They were eager to take the initiative and help their team members as much as possible.
Producing quality work
Most student interns' roles involved some research and writing tasks that required a high level of skill in gathering the right information and analyzing complex situations. Their academic and research skills helped them produce exceptional works, some exceeding expectations.
Being open-minded
Sometimes, the interns were unfamiliar with their assigned tasks and roles. Despite challenges, their supervisors' valuable advice and suggestions inspired them to try new things and improve their skills with a can-do attitude.
Anticipating the needs of the team
With an excellent understanding of their roles and responsibilities, student interns also showed their foresight and anticipation skills. They took charge without being asked, which showed their ability to self-direct without continual external direction. Anticipation is one of the key indicators for a high-performance team.
Applications for the upcoming Rising Generation US Internship Program have started. The US internship program aims to provide Parami students with international exposure and work experience at organizations that work globally on issues that relate to them. Although instructional classes at Parami University are fully online, students have various opportunities to join internships and exchange programs abroad to complement their academic experience, which will help them grow not only academically but also personally and professionally.
