Next Stepper testimonial

"My internship experience because of Next Step was amazing. The company I was placed in was also very good. The internship gave me tons of experience and was an enjoyable job. The company was an internationally known communications firm and I got to work on huge accounts like SC Johnson and Valspar Paint which will be great for my future. The Next Step events also made my stay much better, I met good friends who I will continue to stay in touch with after I leave. The NSC staff was always there to help and everyone was extremely nice. I am very happy I choose to go through Next Step!. " E. Andrew, Michigan State University, 2011
