What is internship Ready?

There are many different qualities a person must have to be internship ready. These qualities are the foundation of an expectational Year Up students attitude. Practicing what Year Up calls ''Core Values" is a sure way to prepare yourself for your internship in a professional sense. One major quality of someone who is internship ready is dependability. Making yourself a dependable worker is something that managers at internships look for in their employees. Another more important quality is a strong work ethic. Being hardworking is what sets a good employee apart from an exceptional one, it sets aside the diligent from the ones doing enough to get by. Last but not least a crucial characteristic of an internship ready individual is someone who is punctual. Being hard working and professional are important qualities,but they will be shadowed by poor attendance. Each characteristic I've mentioned is just as important as the other, but it takes a healthy balance of the 3 that creates a truly internship ready individual.

    Hello there, Rafael! Happy New Year!! I know (based on your most recent blog) that you had a fantastic time in New York, but I am very glad to see you back and ready to go!! Can you believe how close you are to going off to internship?! I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished in program so far, especially though all of the challenges that you have had to endure. I think that in addition to the qualities that you listed in your blog, which I know that you work hard everyday to embody, you could add the quality of "perseverance" to the list, because this too is the quality of a true leader and of someone that will be very successful in life. Cheers!-- Monique
