Career Highlight

"In this period of post-COVID, I crafted a Keep-Warm Strategy to stay connected to interns from the time they received their offer to their first day at Guardian. They received a monthly newsletter and took part in monthly webinars to meet each other and learn more about what the summer program entails. Their managers and mentors connected with them multiple times ahead of the program so they could give a preview of the projects they would be working on. It improved their confidence and got them excited to get connected to each other in advance of the summer intern program. This strategy helped managers and interns be successful at the onset of the program."
