Students:
"I would definitely recommend this internship placement to other students interested in Chemistry, or even just science in general. It was incredibly valuable in helping me see the kind of work that a degree in chemistry can get me, and it helped me learn the kinds of techniques and procedures that professionals use in that field. I think this internship has helped me to confirm my choice to major in physical chemistry or chemical physics at college; much of the work I did was very interesting, and it was satisfying to see how the mathematics and the physics were able to come out in practical scientific applications." Thomas P., chemistry intern, Woburn.
"The summer of my junior year, my internship coordinator at TEC paired me with a startup in Boston. I had the opportunity to work with an incredibly intelligent group of individuals. The firm was about to transition to market when I was brought on, and being part of a small team, I was exposed to the intricacies of the business and expected to produce high quality and meaningful products. I wholeheartedly believe that my internship through TEC and my letter of recommendation from our CEO set me apart in the college admissions process, and secured me a spot in the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania's class of 2020. I had such a great experience with TEC, learned so much through my site at my internship placement, and have made so many meaninful connections along the way. I fully believe in the program and unequivocally recommend applying for a TEC internship." Brooks G., startup intern, Southborough.
"I would definitely recommend this internship to another student! I found it really valuable to get the whole working experience (commuting, being in an office, working with different people, and even being around the city on my own). There were so many learning opportunities and so many people who loved to talk about what they do. I think students should know that participating in an internship requires them to be very self-guided, and comfortable doing different tasks." Julia B., government intern, Wayland.
"Thank you for placing me in a physical therapy internship and supporting me through every step. It really gave me a glimpse into what could possibly be my future profession and that is invaluable. I learned so much by watching which exercises and stretches my mentor prescribed for what injury, which is so important to me concerning my participation in sports. It was also helpful to see how he approached the different people he treated with unique methods. I hope you can possibly help me find another patient-related placement for next summer." Zoe V., physical therapy intern, Brookline.
