“The MDOT Fellows Internship Program was a fantastic experience that gave me the opportunity to expand on my skills in a professional setting and provide me with a number of professional references for my future endeavors.” “The opportunity to work for the MDOT under mentors who truly care about your success was an amazing aspect of the program.” "The best portions of the program are the seminars and policy papers. These aspects helped me learn better skills in time management and group participation." "The policy paper is a unique aspect of the program. It teaches interns to think critically and learn how to work in teams, both important aspects and skills to master for the professional world after college." “The MDOT Fellows Internship Program was a very informative, useful internship experience.” “The MDOT Fellows Internship Program is definitely the perfect way to get your foot in the door, and network with mentors and other interns.” “This internship was a wonderful learning experience and will surely aid in my future endeavors.” “This program throws the traditional idea of interning on its head. I was actually told “You’re not just an intern.” I was able to do meaningful and productive work and not just file papers and run errands.” “My mentor always included me in all the meetings and training classes. He made me feel at home. In addition, the best aspect of the program was being oriented to transportation. This program opened another career option that I would have never considered before.” “The best aspect of the program was its organization and commitment to the enrichment of the interns. From the seminars/tours to the group policy paper project, it was clear that there was an overreaching goal to enhance our general knowledge of transportation issues and MDOT. I found this reassuring, motivating, and refreshing.” “During these past eight weeks, I was given a better insight to what I might be doing in the future. I also learned a lot about MDOT and its function in the State.” "One graduate program offered me a full-tuition scholarship with a research assistantship. The chairman of the admissions committee said the deciding factor for them was the fact that I worked as a fellows-intern at MDOT. The university was looking for young people who were interested in transportation issues, particularly elderly driving. It's ironic that my policy paper dealt with issues related to elderly driving." |
