What to Expect
It all starts with your goals in mind. To ensure that your time at LaBella contributes to your own personal growth, we’ve implemented tools to help you succeed.
Resources: You’ll receive a handbook before your internship even begins, outlining expectations and serving as a reference for FAQs and professional resources.
Support: You’ll be assigned a mentor, who will cater your experience to your goals, answer questions, provide regular feedback, and ensure that you have diverse and meaningful experiences.
Valuable Experiences: It’s important that your time at LaBella is shaped by more than sitting behind a desk. Your mentor will ensure that you are involved in meetings, site visits, job shadowing, and training, as applicable.
Feedback: Personal growth is often marked by benchmarking, which is why we think it’s important to provide feedback formally at the mid-point and conclusion of your internship. Maintaining open communication creates trust and understanding, and a more successful working relationship.
