The Internship Experience From a Student's Perspective: Michael Greene
"Levi and the internship program were hugely beneficial to me and to where I am today. Attempting to navigate the transition from student to member of the workforce can be difficult and intimidating. Levi and the internship program eased the process by giving practical guidance on resumes, how to navigate interviews, and general coaching. One of my favorite parts of the program was utilizing an assessment to determine one’s personal strengths. This helped me better understand and clearly communicate the skills I could bring to a potential employer. Levi connected me to Highland Private Wealth Management as a possible intern candidate. Having an internship gave me a practical education you can’t receive from a classroom. I have now worked with Highland for three years and truly enjoy what I do. I’ve gone from an intern to being the head trader for a firm with almost half a billion in assets! Levi and the internship program were instrumental in giving me this opportunity and helping me make the most of it."
