“My Co-op rotations allowed me to learn so much and advance myself professionally while still in college I’ve gained experience in packaging engineering, project engineering, process engineering, and so much more within the Pharmaceutical industry. With my rotations, I now feel confident to continue to be part of this amazing industry full time after I graduate.”

Hospitality Management  Conventions & Special Events
Parks Hospitality Group
Sales Intern

My internship at parks hospitality group was truly amazing. I had the opportunity to hone my sales and negotiation skills while managing initiatives for three Hilton hotels. From increasing revenue through room sales to securing events based bookings, I contributed significantly to the company’s growth. Working in a diverse team and collaborating with clients was an enriching experience. As I reflect on my time there a quote comes to mind: ” Success is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” This internship not only allowed me to apply my skills but also learn from every experience, making it a valuable step in my professional journey.”
