As a business and psychology student, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I took a marketing co-op focused in graphic design at an architecture firm. I’ve certainly required specific lessons and my colleagues have tailored their help to fit my needs. It’s evident that I have a different skillset (no better or worse) than previous co-ops; and I’m sure the next co-op will also present original skills and challenges. It’s an unconventional approach to a summer internship, but it’s highly personalized to my career goals.
