Ready to Take on the World?: A journing into the social sector with New Sector Alliance

Abstract

Internships are learning experiences that build up your professional skills and allow you to better understand direction in your future career path. For some, this means exploring fields that may seem intimidating and unknown at first. In my talk, I will walk you through the challenges and positive experiences that I encountered during my internship with New Sector Alliance. I will draw upon my experiences as a fellow with a nonprofit dedicated to affordable housing to explain how I enriched my knowledge in a previously unknown field, and strengthened my professional skill set in the social sector.
