As December comes to a close, we wanted to extend a big thank you to our amazing interns who will be returning to their studies in the new year! Here are some of the key takeaways they shared with us about their internship experience: “I worked here for 8 months and learned so much about the intricacies of planning and how beautiful and complex it is. I got to work alongside a fantastic team and learn so much from each of them through their journeys and experiences. I will take these lessons with me as I begin to explore my career beyond school.” - Amanda Ferguson “My eight months at Bousfields have been incredibly valuable. I’ve learned so much from everyone at the company, especially working alongside Team Lennox every day. I gained a true understanding of the planning profession, from the process itself to the preparation of materials and all the steps in between. Bousfields offers an exceptional experience for students, providing the tools to grow, where the team is always ready to share knowledge and answer questions. Beyond planning, the team at Bousfields really embraces new staff, creating an exciting and welcoming atmosphere with frequent social events. Overall, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here and look forward to staying connected with everyone.” - Kieran Luckhai (Cont’d in comments below)
