The PA CareerLink ® in Luzerne County and the Luzerne/Schuylkill Workforce Development Board are so proud of all three young adults who made the most of their summer internship opportunities.
“During my internship at ENX2, I learned a lot about the digital marketing industry and had the opportunity to sharpen my skills with the amazing team there. I would say that I grew professionally by getting a firsthand look at the behind-the-scenes of a variety of businesses’ social media marketing campaigns, giving me an understanding of what the different industries best practices are in terms of how to market online,” Jenkins said. “I’m thankful for the SLIP internship program and I am glad that I was able to be a part of it.”
