“My career has developed exponentially since my internship. I was hired on as an entry level Site Activation Specialist and have worked my way up to a Site Management Associate 2 in under 2 years of full time employment. I also had the opportunity to become a Subject Matter Expert for a company wide initiative and received outstanding spotlights for my performance. I believe that without my time as an intern at ICON, I would not be where I am today. I am so grateful to this company for allowing me to learn and grow with their support.”

“After a year of being within the Site Management Associate position, I was promoted once; I began sitting in on peer interviews along with becoming a mentor.

With her help, guidance and reinforcement, I feel empowered to take on new tasks and responsibilities of my peers knowing she would not let me fail."
