What do interns and host sites think?
"It’s more than just something to add to your resume. It’s an opportunity to gain real-world experience all while finding things out about yourself you never knew you were capable of. In the 9 weeks, you can grow tremendously in knowing how to brand yourself, talk with business professionals, gain crucial connections for the future, and become close with individuals you otherwise would have never know."
— Sylvette Bennetti, 2017 Mcminnville works intern
“Since engaging with the McMinnville WORKS and now Career Bound Pathways Program, OnlineNW has had the opportunity to meet and work with some of the brightest, committed, competent young people coming up into the workforce. There was a time when we looked at internships as giving back to the community by providing students a chance to earn some money and get real world business experience. Today, we are the ones that really reap most of the benefits.”
— Kathy Tate, onlinenw, career bound program host site
"A wonderful program! They offered resume workshops, mock interviews, and were involved throughout the whole interview process. Even during the actual internship I could turn to any of the CW staff members and ask questions, or get advice. I really do feel like this whole process has set me up for a lot of great work."
