PD WEEK 5: Overview

Week 5 marks the final week of the ProX summer internship experience. As the program begins wrapping up, this is an opportunity to reflect on the growth and professional development interns built throughout the summer.

Once again, thank you for the time, mentorship, and support you have invested in students during this experience!

This week, interns are focusing on leadership and the many ways it shows up within professional environments. Students are learning that leadership is not limited to a title, but rather, also looks like taking initiative, supporting a team, and moving shared goals forward.

Throughout the summer, interns have been building foundational work-ready skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and self-awareness. Leadership brings those skills together and helps students better understand how they contribute within professional spaces.

Employers can support this growth by helping interns recognize the value of their voice, perspective, and contributions within the workplace.
