Here’s what students have to say:

“The ability to form a genuine connection with a mentor helped me understand how to maximize my professional growth and prepare myself for entering a career.”
– Camryn; extern 2019-20

“In this experience I learned what the work culture is like, how to talk about myself in interviews and in resumes, and what kinds of positions exist for non-STEM majors at Amazon.” – Rory; extern 2019-20

“Before the externship, I had never used LinkedIn, I had no idea how to talk about my wide variety of skills and experiences, and I wasn’t confident in myself and my abilities. This program transformed how I viewed myself and my UW experience, connected me with a helpful and inspiring mentor, and provided me with skills that I will use for the rest of my time at UW and beyond.” – Arianna; extern 2019-20
