“I am excited about solving a real problem for a local business. I really enjoy problem-solving and being able to think outside the box to solve it. I like that we’re able to have an impact on something right away and it’s not all just traditional learning. However, I am also excited about getting more formal training and being able to have access to resources and knowledge I haven’t had before. I know this will be really helpful to me and I hope I can bring value to my teammates, too.”
