- All right, so three, two, one.

(upbeat music)

0:19
- We have about a dozen interns right now,

0:20
if I recall correctly, all but two of them

0:22
are from Endicott.

0:27
- So, when interviewing the Endicott interns

0:29
to be part of our program, I'm just crazy impressed

0:31
with their work ethic, their drive,

0:34
really, what they're most excited about

0:35
is really, just diving in

0:36
and getting that real life perspective.

0:38
- So, I'm checking the final banquet event order.

0:41
- They come so well prepared, you know,

0:43
with the skills that they already have,

0:45
with the knowledge that they already have,

0:47
and they're so ready to use those skills,

0:48
which is super exciting to have that kind of talent

0:51
join our team at such a young age.

0:55
- We've been really pleased with our partnership

0:57
with Endicott, that we've been able to have interns

0:59
who can come here and do the work

1:01
and really be contributors.

1:05
- Okay, boys and girls, you remember Ms. Jess?

1:07
- [Students] Yes.

1:09
- Well, I'm studying psychology

1:10
and I'm in between becoming a counselor

1:13
and maybe going for my master's degree

1:15
and becoming an early education teacher,

1:17
so this is a really cool opportunity

1:18
because I got to do both.

1:20
- Hi mom!

1:21
- It's really helping me choose which path

1:23
that I want to go down more.

1:28
- I started to feel more confident

1:30
with my abilities and starting to feel

1:33
a little bit more prepared to take the boards.

1:37
- We love Endicott interns.

1:38
They bring smarts, but they also bring pragmatism.

1:41
They're able to roll up their sleeves

1:42
and get the work done.

1:43
That's why, if you look around our office today,

1:44
some of the folks that started out as Endicott interns

1:47
are still here today, as employees.

1:54
- It only means that moving forward,

1:55
you know, when they're ready to graduate from college,

1:57
when they're looking for a place to work,

1:59
they'll be ready to be hired by my team,

2:01
and we'll be ready to take them on.
