Internship at City Hall
For my internship I had the opportunity to participate in a summer program called summer at city hall. In this internship program the we were able to learn about pressing issues in their community as well as attend classes at city Hall where we networked with city officials. At City Hall we also completed a 7 week course and a 36 hour internship and we also earned 5 credits and a stipend. My position in this internship fit the organization because we learned work skills and were able to apply it when we attended our internship.
My overall internship goal was to help Vice Mayor Angelique Ashby with her district duties. I met my goal for my internship because I was able to learn job skills and apply them, and I got to work next to someone I want to become. I have always wanted to be involved with law and work for the government. After attending this program I know that I want to work for the government and become the mayor or a lawyer. Learning about the government and being around people who are involved in the government has really shaped my goals for my education. I am going to attend UC Merced in the fall as a Political Science major and work my way up to obtain my goals. This internship has opened many doors for me and I am glad that i decided to complete for this program. not only did I learn about the government, learn about job skills, and work for the Vice Mayor, but I also had the opportunity to help my community. My experience with this internship has gave me an early inside view of the work field and how important it is to be professional. In my time at City Hall the class part of the program influenced me to always be on my best behavior and be professional because people are watching you.
The work and interaction with coworkers at my internship relate a lot to New Tech. I am glad I attended New Tech because my time at this school has made me build communication skills and collaboration skills that I used at my internship. The things I have learned at my internship tie to the 6 learning outcomes because we were required to collaborate and use our presentation skills. At City Hall we had to work on a project where our task was to solve a issue in our city. At the end of the project we presented to a panel of people. I was prepared to present and communicate with my other group members. I think New Tech is doing a good job with preparing us for the work field because I did not have any difficulties with completing my internship. My overall experience was awesome, I enjoyed learning about the government, meeting new people , and working with the Vice Mayor.
