Week 1
Welcome to Week 1 of your ProX internship experience!
This week marks the beginning of an exciting summer full of growth, learning, and new opportunities. As you settle into your internship, this page will help keep you informed, prepared, and connected with important updates, reminders, and resources for the week ahead.
Week 1: Meta-Cognition
This week, you will practice metacognition: the process of reflecting on your own thinking and learning. This helps you set intentional goals, recognize your strengths, identify areas for growth, and better understand how you work in professional environments.
As you continue developing your work-ready skills, self-awareness becomes the foundation everything else is built on. The more you reflect, adapt, and evaluate your experiences, the more confidently you will be able to grow throughout the summer and beyond.
