Exploring career possibilities and developing workplace skills are at the heart of a successful internship experience. Here’s how one Weld Central High School student, Caitlyn, described the impact of her healthcare internship at Intermountain Health – Platte Valley Hospital:
Through my internship, I was able to learn a lot more about the area I was interested in which was the laboratory. I also discovered new areas I hadn’t thought about like the pharmacy. It was interesting to see what the day-to-day job looks like for different careers in healthcare. A skill I feel I am good at is productivity. In my internship, my productivity helped me accomplish small tasks I was given within the area I was in for the week. Completing work is a crucial part of the workforce, as many others may rely on me to get things done on time.
