From The Student Voice - Antony Georgiadis, Mentor Chains® Lead Summer 2020
Virtual Internships are your opportunity to gain tangible work experience on complex problems and projects set up to simulate a company atmosphere so you can improve your skills in a low-pressure environment.
This is your opportunity to learn and grow in a professional setting in which you will have access to industry tools and mentors who are there to help guide you on your journey in whatever pathway or level of internship you participate in.
This is not a class in which you will be given everything and you just execute. You will be given the tools and framework to grow. It will be up to you as to how far you take your experience whether you are adding to codebases, writing a paper on your project, or any number of fantastic possibilities all of your efforts are yours to show off to the world.
