CAMP! Intern Resources and Events

BootCAMP!

BootCAMP! is a weekend of in-person professional development workshops for interns, with a focus on soft skills development for the workplace and beyond. This year’s themes include the essentials of professionalism, resilience for professional success, goal-setting, networking, and financial literacy.

This year, interns heard from these four leaders in professional success:

Group Coaching Check-In

Chelsea Simpson led interactive activities and discussions in July for interns to check-in on meaningful goals they set during BootCAMP, learn how to navigate challenges and communicate effectively with their supervisors, and connect their internship experience to their longer-term career aspirations.

Networking Events

Cozy Corner Cafe hosted our Career Journeys & Networking Events.

Guest speakers shared their career journeys and advice for young professionals. Then, interns, young professionals, and Cozy Corner Cafe guests had opportunities to network.
