Since 2017, AnaVation has invested resources in our internship program: an initiative to invest in the next generation of professionals. Since then, AnaVation has welcomed interns into our eleven-week program every year. The paid summer internship is open to current undergraduate students interested in the field of technology, primarily in the computer science or cyber security field.
There are two main things I think of when I think about this internship and that is the amount I was able to learn and how much I enjoyed the AV culture. The amount of realistic experience the internship provides for the workspace is so valuable and the breadth of skills I worked on in the process of developing our project last year was so beneficial. And the amazing atmosphere of the company overall, people I've worked with, and events I went to were equally valuable.
There was always something to learn from everyone. I believe that AnaVation’s top priority was to see the interns grow and learn over the summer, and they put everyone in a great position to do so. Having a mentor and many different people to go to for guidance was incredibly helpful. The projects were interesting while being challenging enough for us to really think and grow.
I’d highlight the hackathon and my experience with my team. It not only allowed me to meet new individuals but also exposed me to diverse working styles. AnaVation provides a dynamic learning environment where interns are encouraged to explore their interests and contribute meaningfully.
After more than a year at AnaVation, I have learned many skills and practices about the development world, allowing me to apply my skills more quickly and effectively than ever before.
AnaVation is an exceptional company that consistently strives for excellence and fosters talent. The program encourages future AnaVators to find innovative ideas, creating an environment for amazing experiences and professional growth. I had an amazing internship experience through the guidance of outstanding mentors and leaders who significantly enhanced my skill set and helped prepare me for future endeavours.
During my internship at AnaVation, I had the chance to dive into exciting projects that really boosted my skills and understanding of the industry. The mentors were amazing, always there to help and guide me through any challenges. Plus, the fun and friendly company culture made every day enjoyable, creating great memories and friendships along the way.
My time interning at AnaVation has provided me with so much insight, knowledge, and technical skill to venture into the professional world. The company is a very open and supportive community with mentors who are eager to help you learn and thrive in the field. Having done two prior internships with the company, I've gained so much exposure to new software and tech concepts, which has made me more confident in the work I'll do in the future.
I would recommend others to intern at AnaVation. It was collaborative, enriching, and educating. It is an environment where you can learn and grow your skills as a programmer and as a professional.
After watching AnaVation adapt to all the challenges that came with 2020, I knew this company valued each employee and considered interns an investment for the future.
The internship commences with a week-long Hackathon. After that, the real work begins when the interns work together on teams to design and develop an innovative project. AnaVation also cares about the individuals personal and professional development. Each intern is paired with a mentor, who meets with the intern regularly to talk about career development and give advice. In addition to the skills learned through working, the internship is a great way to learn and get into the government contracting field. The internship concludes with a final project presentation at the end of the summer.
