Eggleston’s Internship Program Provides
Hands On Career Exploration
Through the Eggleston internship program, local high school and college students were able to work as paid interns directly supporting the individuals Eggleston serves. Internships at Eggleston give students the chance to expand their ideas regarding options for pursuing higher education or a career.
Meet Shomar,
a rising senior at Norview High School who interned at Military Highway Day Program.
“From this opportunity, I have learned how to grow my social skills in order to help others, because I am quiet and shy. My biggest takeaway from this is seeing how communication is shown in different ways, and not just in words but body language. I enjoyed helping with arts & crafts, outings, and building a relationship with everyone. This was really fun, and I enjoyed it a lot. As an upcoming rising senior at Norview High School, I will take what I’ve learned and apply it necessarily.”
Meet Zai’Anna,
a rising senior at Cox Highschool who interned at Eggleston Corporate Office with the Marketing and Development team.
“I started at Eggleston last year as an HR assistant. I did organization, and I learned a lot of my networking skills while being here. I was finding my voice, basically, and being myself. Along with building up my character as an individual… After school, I’m coming back to Eggleston to work full-time. I love the environment, the individuals I get to meet everyday, and it’s always an experience to look for that you can’t find anywhere else.”
