At JEVS Human Services (JEVS), the Franklin C. Ash Internship program provides an opportunity for driven students to gain professional experience in the nonprofit sector.
JEVS Work Ready team welcomes Anna C., a student at Penn State University, where she is majoring in Human Resources.
What made you want to do an internship at JEVS?
I wanted to intern at JEVS to gain experience in the nonprofit world and be part of an organization making a real impact. I was drawn to the opportunity to help people find employment. Being able to support individuals on their journey toward self-sufficiency and career success is very rewarding. This experience has deepened my passion for working in human services and workforce development.
What has been the most exciting part of your internship?
The most exciting part of my internship is researching job openings and matching them with clients based on their resumes. I love being able to dig into different roles and identify a great fit for each person. It’s meaningful to know that the work I’m doing is helping someone land a job and move forward in their career.
What do you hope to learn or do while you’re here?
While I’m at JEVS, I’m working to sharpen my research and data analysis skills. I want to gain more experience in gathering information, spotting patterns, and using data to inform decisions for clients. The Franklin Ash Internship Program is a perfect opportunity for me to build those skills in a real-world setting and see how they can make a difference in the work we do.
