Your mentors - Amanda Fong, Shane Silver, and Nina Lynn will be your guardians for the summer. They will provide guidance and support through-out your internship experience here at CBS.
Brush up on the latest tools and resources used for project management, communication, product design, prototyping, and development.
Every Friday, we meet weekly for a quick check in with the intern, set program deadlines, ask for feedback, address any concerns and improve the experience for the intern. A fun way to catch-up on goals and progress.
There will be several events hosted by the CBSi Internship Program, including a corporate Volunteer Day, along with a mid-summer team outing with the design team and other networking events.
At the end of the program, the intern will showcase a final project to the division. The subject of the project will be determined in July between the intern and mentors.
