“The summer after my freshman year, I was a fellow at A Starting Point, an online media company. This internship taught me a lot about the way political media will look in the future and allowed me to put a lot of what I’ve learned in the classroom into real-world practice.”
“I interned at the Kenosha County Courthouse last year and observed Judge Angelina Gabriele. It was a great experience, and I met many wonderful people at the courthouse. I plan to do another internship for them next summer.”
“I am an Urban Teacher Preparation student worker. I advocate for the program and help create events while partnering up with schools around the Kenosha and Racine area, and I also attend the Urban Teacher Prep Program.”
“Over the summer after my first year, I worked a corporate finance internship at Beltone. I worked on various projects granting me a wide range of competencies to build upon in my future years in the industry.”
About The Aspire Program
At Carthage, all first-year students begin career development planning from their first days on campus. Through The Aspire Program, they develop a dynamic approach to goal-setting and life skill-building. Students will own their ability to be lifelong learners and impactful contributors in the world, and to recover when plans don’t go as expected. Launched in 2019, The Aspire Program builds on Carthage’s strong history of providing students with the skills they need to succeed.
