PROMISE: Professional and Managerial Internships in State Employment
My time spent working in the ichthyology collection was thanks to the PROMISE program. A ten-week paid internship that provides undergraduate students opportunities and interest to work in state, local, and government agencies. Aimed at increasing diversity in Oregon employment while working on developing leadership, professional, and job skills
The program consisted of 25 interns working unique internships in a wide variety of disciplines. From children and education to marine and forestry research. It was a great opportunity to meet interact with people outside of our majors, work on challenges together, and learn from one another.
