Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship Intern

June - July 2020 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

Great survey experience of many different areas in business. Group mentorship program with professionals in industry was particularly valuable.

What I wish was different

Communication and expectations not super clear, and got repetitive after a while. It was the first year they offered this program though.

Advice

Go into it with an open mind, and really allow yourself to be as interested or uninterested in things as you want to be. At the end of the day, this program is there to help you figure out what your career preferences are, so don't stress out too much if you don't enjoy a particular week's content and project.
