“As the risk management and claims assessment intern at the SCA, I have learned a plethora of skills through my managers, for example, analyzing risks using data analysis. The team-based positive work environment created by my managers has allowed me as an intern to feel supported and passionate about my internship experience and the overall goals of the risk management division at the SCA.

“I think the biggest gain from the College Internship Program is the practical skills that you will use for the rest of your career. I have improved my Revit skills because I have the opportunity to learn from experts who have been using the program for many more years than me. This internship has taught me that I don’t have to do everything by myself, there are many experts who are willing to help out with anything situation that I may need help.”
