“My internship with the National Development Council (NDC) was a great experience. I learned a lot about the process that goes into granting loans. The process of underwriting for instance had me looking over numbers on tax returns and trying to evaluate whether or not a company and individual is worth giving a loan to.”

“My internship with Move Up Global has given me an excellent opportunity to learn how to work with clients and how to explain design choices in order to make them a website they’re happy with. The team at Move Up Global was wonderful to work with and gave me work experience that I will be able to apply to future career opportunities, as well as when making a website for my own business.”

“This internship has taught me how to make social connections, work and collaborate as a team, and how to make the best decisions based on critical thinking. It has also taught me what kind of environment I would want in future jobs.”

“The internship took place both online, via Zoom, and in Cooperstown at the county administrative offices. Throughout the semester we completed tasks such as gathering and forecasting GDP data, determining property values, calculating taxable sales, and determining the relationship between taxable sales and tourism. Overall, this internship allowed me to practice the skills that Hartwick has provided me with the past three years and allowed me to showcase them to potential employers all semester.”

“I think my courses in Developmental Psychology and Risk Factors in Childhood really helped prepare me for this internship. I plan on working with this age group through occupational therapy. By working with a variety of children with a multitude of differences I was able to get a feel for the demographic and better understand what I was getting myself into. I think this helped strengthen my application to graduate school because it was a unique experience that not everyone gets.”
