Salem M. has been an intern for about 5 weeks with Economic Growth Business Incubator(EGBI). She got into the internship by applying through Summer Youth Employment Program with Travis County. Her personal interests in business is her dream. She would like to start her own boutique.
Her future plans after the internship is to start at UT Austin studying in Textiles and Apparels. Her expectation when coming to EGBI was getting to meet small business owners and get advice for her own dreams and future plans. Some new experiences she learned at EGBI was sending professional emails and writing blogs about people. The most interesting person she met at EGBI was Nina, a fellow coworker at EGBI, they bonded through a common interest.
Her favorite activity at EGBI was the Lunch & Learns that EGBI offers with the internship. Her advice to future interns at EGBI would be to ask questions and be curious.
