Hi everyone!
It’s been bittersweet wrapping up my last few weeks in this
internship, but they have definitely been exciting! I spent a week at the
Hoosier Youth Challenge Academy, which is a pretty unique organization with so
much history. It was pretty interesting to hear about the program they have to
help put structure and discipline into kid’s lives who have dropped out of high
school.
My last week, Shae and I got the opportunity to conduct a
salary survey for the Indiana Department of Transportation. This was an interesting
project because we actually contacted all 92 counties in Indiana and the 10
largest cities and got to analyze the differences between their salaries and
benefits for a single position.
During this last week Shae and I also took a trip to three different
Pendleton jails. We met the human resource employees and learned how much work
and time they put into the jails. We got to tour the three jails, which was
very fascinating. I was definitely impressed with how many different programs
and classes these jails offer their offenders.
As I leave this internship I think back to the beginning of
the summer and realize how much I have truly gained from these past three
months. Not only have I learned more than I thought I could in one internship,
but I also gained great professional experience, meeting some amazing,
hardworking people along the way. I had the opportunity to collaborate with
Shae all summer. We found that we worked very well together, and I was able to
learn so much from her as well as my supervisor, and all my other coworkers. It
was an unforgettable internship. I’m looking forward to whatever next summer
brings me!
