Kyle

Broward College
– Remote Legal Policy Analyst Internship, with a company based in the USA

“My experience with my host company was terrific. It’s very beneficial that I can take the skills I learned at university and put them into practice in my internship. Overall I really enjoyed my virtual internship… It was very beneficial, I learned a lot from it, and I encourage anyone to do a virtual internship, you will not regret it!”

Biggest skill gain?

“I improved on my analytics skills during my virtual internship. Having to do research almost everyday, I was able to learn how to understand if a document is reliable or not and also know exactly what to look for.”

Any advice for future interns?

“A piece of advice I would give a future intern would be to manage your time – try not to do everything in one day. You’re going to have to manage your time properly to get your tasks done efficiently within each week.”
