For 10 weeks this summer, 13 students worked 40 hours a week at nonprofits, government agencies, and companies around the city
When Julia Ye, a junior at Johns Hopkins University, signed on for her summer internship, she never imagined that she’d be interviewing candidates for a manager position at her company. But, after shadowing interviews with her supervisor, she’ll soon have the chance to lead some on her own.
“I’ve been able to be more hands-on than I ever expected,” Ye said of her experience at the World Trade Center Institute’s human resources department in downtown Baltimore.
Ye matched with the institute through the InBaltimore Internship Program, which is part of Johns Hopkins’ Life Design Lab. The program is designed to increase undergrads’ involvement in Baltimore City and help strengthen the local community. For 10 weeks this summer, 13 students worked 40 hours a week at nonprofits, government agencies, and companies around the city. Integrative Learning and Life Design provides a $4,000 stipend and professional development.
