Professional Development
The PROMISE program not only offers a chance for hands-on experimental learning at the job site, it also provides in-depth professional development. As a complement to my full-time role at the SMILE Program, I attended weekly professional development sessions that helped to support my growth and shape my development as an emerging professional.
One of the most significant aspects of the professional development process in the PROMISE internship was the creation and refinement of our personal mission statement, which you can find on the About Me page. Additionally, I focused on integrating social justice, reflection, accountability, and leadership into my professional work. Through these sessions and the discussions that followed, I began to identify goals and areas of growth while defining myself as a professional.
Here you can explore some of my own personal takeaways from these sessions.
