Internship Testimonials

"As a business Administration major with an emphasis on Management Information Systems, the internship/apprenticeship program has helped narrow down my career goals. I have been able to relate what I am learning in classes with hands-on experiences on the job. This makes both class and work more meaningful and useful to me in the future. Overall, it has been a great experience and will lead me in the right direction when I begin my job search."

--Zac Griess, Engineering and Consulting Dept

"In the course on my internship, I am learning what it is like to actually work in Information Technology. the experience in working with customers, and the technical knowledge I have gained will probably have as great an impact on my future success as any other academic work I have done to date. I would highly recommend this internship to others looking for a career in IT."

--Ed Raney, Support Services Dept.

The hands-on, real world experience that I've gained through my internship at Intellicom has proved to be invaluable. The experience that I have gained throughout my internship is experience that I would have never encountered in the classroom. Intellicom has presented me with the opportunity to acquire IT skills that I have not previously been exposed to. I feel that this internship will put me ahead of others who have not had similar experiences, when being considered for future positions in my career. I highly recommend doing an internship to anyone in the IT field.

--Kate Naber, Support Services Dept.

"My experience at Intellicom has been an extremely important aspect of my education thus far. I can't even begin to measure the amount of information that I have learned and the positive experiences I have had. The opportunity to participate in Intellicom's internship program is something that should be seized by anyone serious about going into Information Technology."

--Tim Brestel, Engineering and Consulting Dept.

"Even though I didn't have very much experience in the Technology field, the people at Intellicom were willing to give me a chance to get some hands-on experience. The internship program has given me an invaluable learning experience I would not have received in the classroom alone. The professionalism that Intellicom has shown me is like no other place I have worked. Everybody I worked with was courteous, friendly, and always willing to help me out when I needed some help. the internship has been the best hands-on learning experience I have been through."

--Craig Coleman, Engineering and Consulting Dept.

"I believe that the Helpdesk Internship is a great way to get introduced to the field of IT. It provides a great learning experience that could not have been obtained solely in the classroom. It also provides valuable work skills that will most likely benefit me in the future. The employees are great to work with and very helpful. The customers present challenging problems that require my skills to be put to real-world applications. With every new issue that comes fourth, there is an opportunity to learn something new. This is my idea of what an internship is supposed to be like."

--Davin Jones, Support Services Dept.

"My experience as in Intern at Intellicom has proven to be a huge success. While I've learned many things, so far, I'd have to say that the biggest impact that working here has had on me is with my personal networking skills. When there is an issue that is brought to me, I always have a resource to find the correct solution. The classroom has been a good foundation to get me rolling toward my career goals, but Intellicom's internship program is what allowed me to stretch my legs."

--Matt Eigenberg, Administrative Team.

"My Internship at Intellicom was very useful for me because I was able to take the theory that I was learning in class and apply it to the real world. I had lots of projects in college, but none of them prepared me for life after college like my Internship did."

--Brian Hemmer, Engineering and Consulting Dept

"When I started at Intellicom I felt I was qualified, I was computer literate and familiar with Windows 95/98. I was trying for an temporary internship position to help check and fix computers/software to be Y2K compliant. Now, after two and a half years I found that what I knew was very little and more importantly I found that it is not important what you know, but the skills and tools you know. I have learned that you can tackle any project by knowing where to find the information and knowing what to ask. I have learned how to setup networks from the ground up, working with customers and customizing it to meet their needs."

"I have had the privilege of working with amazing highly skilled peers that are available to help you anytime. Everyone at Intellicom are friends as much coworkers. The job itself entails going onsite to different businesses fixing different problems. Its always changing, new challenges every day, working with different people all the time. The job is never the same and is always a challenge, its never dull or monotonous."

--Shane Kenny, Engineering and Consulting Dept

"During the last semester of my college career, I applied for an Internship position at Intellicom Computer Consulting. At the time I was hired, I barely knew what a hub was and had only worked with Windows 95 about 3 months. It was very obvious that my skill level and knowledge about IT was very small. Intellicom provided a hot-bed of knowledge, real-life applications, and hands-on experiences that I seeking. Things started to click and make sense just being around the technology and terminology for a few months. I knew right away that there was no better place to learn than Intellicom. As the months and years went by, I not only acquired the skills needed to become an effective IT Consultant, but I also developed organizational, managerial, and customer relationship skills. Intellicom has undoubtedly had a profound positive impact on my personal and professional life."

"I am now in my fifth year at Intellicom and very proud to say that this is still the best job I could have hoped for in the Information Technology industry. I currently hold multiple certifications with Microsoft and CompTIA, and have a great consulting team that I manage and mentor. I strongly believe that there is no better atmosphere than Intellicom to not only learn, but to apply the latest developments in IT technology as you grow professionally and as an individual."
