Dewberry’s summer internship program helped me solidify what I want my future career to look like. It helped me realize that I am in the right place for what I want to do. I think what sets this intern program apart is that you are working on real ongoing projects in your department and given responsibilities like a full-time employee, giving you real-life experience on what a job at the company would look like.
