Internships are a crucial step in bridging the gap between college education and a professional career, offering a way to apply academic knowledge in real-world settings, enhance resumes, and build professional networks. My journey with CPAC shows this transition, having been a great experience that allowed me to grow from intern to Policy Fellow, and currently to a part-time role while I pursue my studies at The George Washington University.
During my six-month internship at CPAC, I gained invaluable insights into analyzing congressional hearings, understanding proposed regulations, and engaging with government officials and members of Congress. This experience not only honed my professional skills but also deepened my appreciation for the impactful work CPAC is involved in. I was fortunate to attend CPAC 2024 in Washington, D.C., an opportunity that significantly expanded my professional network and allowed me to connect with peers and seasoned professionals alike.
The welcoming atmosphere at CPAC's office leads to growth and learning. It is a place where dedication and effort are met with rewarding and engaging work, offering a unique opportunity to excel. I am immensely grateful for the doors CPAC has opened for me, fostering both my professional and personal development. To those considering an internship with CPAC, be prepared for a journey that will challenge, inspire, and ultimately, equip you with the skills and experiences necessary for a successful career.
