Testimonials
“Being the summer intern for CRD [Central Regional Design] was an opportunity of a lifetime. Not only was I introduced to roadway design here in New Mexico, but they allowed me to meet the engineering community here in Albuquerque. This summer was a great introduction to my career, and I will always be grateful for this opportunity.”
“My internship experience was amazing. I was able to meet and work with incredible thoughtful people and I gained several skills which I will apply to any future job I can find myself in… I recommend anyone interested in a mentorship check out what the state has to offer – you might find the perfect job.”
“This summer’s internship has impacted my career goals greatly. After experiencing what it is like to be a prosecutor in New Mexico, I am seriously considering going into this area of law.”
“I really enjoyed working with this group of people. Being able to hear feedback from them but also being able to give them my feedback and being able to collaborate was really beneficial to me.”
“This internship has affected my career goals in a positive way. This internship has helped me with my work habits, improved communication skills, and it has made me think of joining state government after the internship is over.”
“My communication and presentation skills have increased. I feel my customer service skills have increased as well… I met a lot of great people, got a lot of connections, and I learned more about the operation of state government.”
