They have arrived! Give a warm welcome to this year’s summer interns. Each of our interns come from a unique background with their own strengths and skills. Over the course of the next eight weeks, they will be immersed in all enFocus and the South Bend-Elkhart region has to offer. With majors ranging from computer science and bio engineering, and public policy to financial economics, we can’t wait for them to embrace hands-on learning to find solutions and drive innovation.
There are so many reasons why an intern joins enFocus. For some, it is an opportunity to strengthen their hometown, while for others, it is exciting to gain experience in a specific field of interest. The next eight weeks hold challenges, learning moments, and activities all around the region. Whatever it may be, we are so excited to have our interns here.
