Money magazine study<\/a> measured 665 colleges on numerous measures including career earnings. UW Bothell ranked number one in the state of Washington, and our success is partly due to the high impact experiences offered through the Career Services department on campus. \u201cFrom what we see working with students, and looking at national data, students who participate in internships are much more likely to have success finding the jobs that they want after graduation\u201d says career counselor David Brown. Because of this, all students are encouraged to complete one or more internships in their field of study before they graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tTaylor Klevens, a Law, Economics, and Public Policy major, is currently interning for Northwestern Mutual, a position he learned about during one of UW Bothell\u2019s internship and job fairs. After securing the position, Klevens signed up for the BIS 495 IAS Internship Course to receive guidance and credit throughout the internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tAccording to Klevens, securing the internship was no small feat, \u201cNorthwestern Mutual has been recognized as one of the top ten places to intern for in the U.S., and is the nation\u2019s No.1 provider of life insurance.\u201d As a financial representative intern, one of Klevens\u2019 main responsibilities is to meet with clients to sell insurance and annuity plans, applying the skills he gained during the company\u2019s \u201cFast Track Training\u201d program for interns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tAhmed Mohamed began his intern search at the Career Services department, where an advisor helped him secure a position with the African Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Northwest. The Global Studies major was excited to describe the non-profit organization, \u201cTheir mission is to promote an environment for direct trade and business prosperity between Africa and the Pacific Northwest.\u201d As an intern, Mohamed kept track of the organization\u2019s members, planned events, and completed other business related tasks aimed at increasing trade relationships between the Pacific Norwest and African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tAccording to Brown, the high impact experience gained through such internships is what companies are looking for in recent graduates, \u201cWe are told over and over again by employers that they want to see students who have internships or other hands-on experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tKlevens hopes to continue working for the company after he graduates. Mohamed plans to take his experience overseas to do business in Africa. Regardless of what these men end up doing, they will be able to apply skills learned during their high impact experience as interns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
