MBEP staff & interns at Economic Summit, May 2018
"The Monterey Bay Internships website is extremely user friendly and easy to navigate. I refer my students to the site on a regular basis and take pleasure in doing so knowing that it may lead to amazing opportunities whether it
be personally or professionally."
- Janene Avedisian, UCSC Advisor
“I had been looking for an internship during my sophomore year because I knew I needed to gain
experience in the business world. I applied to work for Management Analytics because it appealed to me.
I have learned so much since I've started and I am really enjoying it. Though it can be challenging, I am so grateful
for this opportunity to learn and grow.” - Olivia Quadros

"Throughout my time as a student, I have been exposed to the reality that in most cases having a degree is not enough when applying for the
job that you want to get. You need experience, and exposure to how companies operate outside of a textbook.
Interning with Groza Construction has allowed me to build my skills in the professional world, and better develop myself for
future careers." - Nathan Rossi
“My internship has helped me take the next step in my career. It has given me an opportunity to use the skills that I
have learned throughout my studies at CSU Monterey Bay. Now I have valuable experience that I can put on my
resume. I am very grateful for MBI and all the work that it does. I will think back on my internship and all that I learned
throughout the rest of my career.” - Michael Smith

“I needed some extra help over the summer and decided to try hiring through Monterey Bay Internships.
I could not have been more pleased with the results.
Shortly after my posting, I was presented with multiple qualified candidates. I ended up hiring two of them. I was impressed with their professionalism, insightful questions, and helpful suggestions as well as
their work ethic. Whoever thinks Millennials don't want to work should give MBI a try!”
