I have been very appreciative for the opportunity to work with Ladder Internships this summer. After going through the application and interview process, they paired me up with a great company that I was able to work well with through online calls and communication. It has taught me a lot about what it's like working for a company in a real world setting and I know I will be able to take a lot of these skills on toward my next work.

Ladder Internships provided me with my first opportunity to work as an intern, and I am grateful for the experience that I have gained. Once I was admitted into Ladder Internships, I was paired with a company and given a job that aligned with my interests and passions. Ladder Internships has given me the chance to dive deeper into my interest in business, and taught me about the behind-the-scenes of a functioning and successful business. I better understand where I want to take my future education and career after this insightful opportunity.

Ladder Internships was an amazing experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally. I worked on real projects and got support from mentors who truly cared about my progress. The program taught me how to manage my time better and think more independently. I’d definitely recommend it to other high school students!

I have truly had a meaningful and enriching experience during this internship. It has given me valuable insight into the depth of thought, research, and effort involved in building and sustaining a company, especially within the mental health field. Working with my mentor has taught me so much about both the industry and myself. I’m especially grateful for the kindness, support, and encouragement I’ve received from everyone involved in Ladder!

I am very grateful to Ladder Internships for offering me an internship at a great company that matches my interests! Moreover, I was given a full financial aid as a student from a low-income background. This is an amazing opportunity for gaining experience in the field you’re interested in. Everything is organised very well. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an internship!

Ladder Internships was the first internship I've ever done and it is an extremely fun experience!! I'm currently working on projects for a company called Kids Create Inc. and I'm helping on making prompts for their AI tool. It gives students a chance to experience actually helping and making a difference in a company. Your thoughts can potentially be the next ideas a company uses and you aren't just doing the work to say you're doing an internship, you actually learn skills that help you in the future.

The Ladder Internship Program has been one of the most transformative experiences of my academic journey. I had the chance to work on real-world projects, grow under the mentorship of inspiring professionals, and gain insights that no classroom could offer. The support system was incredible, and the experience gave me the confidence and clarity to pursue my future goals with purpose. I highly recommend this program to any student eager to make a meaningful impact.

I’ve had an amazing experience through ladder internships. Once I applied and got into this program, a company was chosen for me based on my interests. I’ve been guided by great and understanding leaders, and i’ve gained so many strong skills. One example is how much i’ve improved my public speaking through this internship. We do weekly meetings, where i’ve presented findings and research with my team.
