“I am studying applied economics with a concentration in finance at Ursinus College. I’ve always had an interest in how the economy and money work. INROADS has been an absolutely great experience for me. The experience has put me ahead of some peers as far as my internship experience, career development, and networking opportunities. INROADS has helped me secure three internships in my field of interest for three summers in a row.”

“INROADS helped me grow personally and professionally. The mentorship was exceptional and the support I've got throughout the years was terrific and much needed for my well-being. It has opened the doors to the professional world for me. The program has taught me the how-to's of both working and adulthood.”

“INROADS helped me gain confidence, step out of my comfort zone, and improve my speaking skills. I secured an internship at the CDC through INROADS, which will help me stand out amongst other applicants when applying for a job. INROADS has opened so many doors to future opportunities.”

“My goal is to work as a Cybersecurity Analyst, then work my way up to Chief Information Security Officer. INROADS has helped me stay focused, and educated me on various career path options, ensuring that I never felt stuck in one spot when it came to excelling in my career field. My INROADS National Conference experience was very insightful, and I learned important lessons on how to grow professionally. The INROADS experience has prepared me for what to expect in the real working world. INROADS genuinely cares about your growth and development as a professional and they help create a path with steps to achieve your goals.”

“My INROADS experience was an immeasurable and valuable period of self-discovery and personal growth. The connections I made during my first internship enabled me to network within federal government leadership and land a second internship at the U.S. Department of Treasury. INROADS is an amazing resource that not only helps put your resume in front of Fortune 500 companies but also provides you with training and professional development.”

“My INROADS experience was nothing more than a blessing. The skills, tips, and tricks provided to me by the great people at INROADS and the Library of Congress will be forever appreciated and utilized. The internship prepared me for the workforce because it made interacting with other professionals easier and helped me leave a positive lasting impression. I also learned the star interview method, which made interviewing less intimidating. I would highly recommend INROADS to any student who finds it difficult to land an internship. INROADS is making life easier for students by providing you with mentors, opportunities, and the knowledge to succeed.”

“ I absolutely love my INROADS experience. Prior to my time with INROADS, I had no major experience that would shape my career. I’ve been able to meet a lot of great people through my internship at the Library of Congress and through INROADS. I’ve been able to experience growth at a faster pace than at any other internship. By meeting a lot of the employees at the Library to actually working on projects that are not just “intern” tasks, I’ve been able to develop and enhance skills that I haven’t developed anywhere else.
I would recommend INROADS to any student strongly pursuing their career.”

My INROADS experience and internship at the Federal Reserve Board have been nothing but a blessing. This program has exposed me to a lot of different opportunities and real-life work experience. I got to grow and learn every day from my INROADS mentor who helped me think more about my next goals and helped me work on those goals. I have learned how to be a better speaker and a better leader in my community and organization. After I graduate, I hope to secure a job with the Federal Reserve Board and go for my master’s in business or business construction.

“My first internship was with the IRS, where I learned how a government agency runs its business. I appreciate all of the advice INROADS provided me. It made me have hope that I can gain experience and have mentors that believe in me and my abilities. INROADS opened a lot of doors for me that I didn’t think were possible, especially as a Latina woman. Coming from a family that values hard work, I knew the opportunities that INROADS provided would allow me to showcase the passion I had for my career and the determination to constantly seek new experiences. After I graduate I really want to make sure that I am able to transfer the skills learned through INROADS and my experience in my real-world job.”
