2017 Mar 9

A number of Eastern students commit to student internships as an on-site practical work experience with a company or organization that can provide them with firsthand knowledge of a career field. The internship is usually related to the student's major or is directly related to the student's career interest. They often complement the student's coursework, can incorporate skills and classroom experience into the workplace and assist the student in developing new abilities and skills.

Chazeray Briscoe '17 of Weatogue is doing an internship with radio station WILI-FM i98.3. Briscoe's major is Business Administration.

As part of his tasks, Briscoe assists in recording and editing audio promotions that inform listeners about events. Through his internship, Briscoe hopes to learn how to improve his production skills, organize radio shows and gain skills related to creating radio advertisements.

"My advice for other students seeking internships is to stay focused, diligent and open-minded. An internship gives you an opportunity to test drive a career. An internship is your chance to actually go out and experience things first-hand, so be optimistic because you never know whether an internship will turn into a career you'll fall in love with," said Briscoe.
