Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA)

“As a part of the new innovation program, I got lots of exposure to new technology. One of the best perks to my positions was attending meetings with companies who had new technology to share. I was able to network on a personal level since the meetings were just between a few people, and I got to see devices and technology that hasn't even been implemented yet. Everybody I met and everybody I worked with were so nice and personable, it was a great environment to work in. ”

“I loved the amount of responsibility that I was given within my team -- everyone treated me as though I was a colleague and not just as an intern. I felt as though I was able to make valuable contributions to my team and the agency as a whole.”
