Jason Cooper, a BAS Technology Management student for the College of Computer & Information Technology (CCIT), was just one of 38 students who completed an internship through St. Petersburg College\u2019s College-wide Internship Program last school year. Having served as an intern for the City of St. Petersburg, Cooper was responsible for projects which included: Working on print servers, VMware products, CISCO VPN software and hardware, imaging drives with Norton products, data recovery, repairing computers, ordering new hardware from vendors and researching problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy experience was extremely gratifying. I have learned a lot because of the real world experience and from working with some very talented people at the City of St. Petersburg,\u201d Cooper said. He further stated that most of the technology at the City of St. Petersburg is new and he was glad that he had an opportunity to work with it. He hopes that the experience he gained will make him more marketable to employers.<\/p>\n
For students who plan to complete an internship in the future, Cooper suggested that they \u201ctake advantage of the learning experience as much as possible, and keep in mind that you can do well if you are determined.\u201d<\/p>\n
