Introducing our newest initiative... the V-TOP Intern Spotlight! Jasmine Pierce is a current marketing intern at Dominion Payroll and studies at Virginia State University. She previously interned at Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (Arm & Hammer), Coca-Cola Consolidated, and Germono Advertising Company. "What intrigued me most about my internship position was the chance to deepen my understanding of marketing and data analytics," Pierce said, speaking to her interest in interning at Dominion Payroll. "I was eager to explore the advanced tools and techniques used to analyze data and derive actionable insights, and to see firsthand how these strategies can drive meaningful results for a company." #internspotlight #vtop #talentinvirginia
We love to see these stories about students in the region! #summerintern
Summer Internship Spotlight: Emil Orea Rising UVA Wise Sophomore Emil Orea from Marion, Va,, is spending his summer as a STREAMWise intern. STREAMWISE is a multi-faceted approach to STREAM educational outreach throughout the region. Programming includes community skills training, future project-based courses, after-school and summer programming for P12, experiential learning opportunities for college students, as well as other avenues and initiatives. Orea, who is a computer science major and business administration minor, has many duties as a STREAMWISE ambassador. From teaching students how to fly drones and programming robots to preparing for events and keeping inventory, there is always plenty to do. “The classes within my major have equipped me with the necessary context and skills needed to be successful in my internship,” said Orea. “I genuinely enjoy my major. The more I learn here, the better equipped I am to share my love of learning with others.” Orea would like to thank the UVA Wise Office of Career Discovery and Planning for providing assistance with his resume, as well as applying for the Internship Support Fund, which was an essential part in him becoming an intern.
