Tyler Johnson recently completed an internship with the Itasca Economic Development Corporation. This is what they had to say about the experience.
I had the privilege of serving as an intern at IEDC this summer. During my time at the IEDC, I gained valuable insights into the private side of economic development and the strategies we use to best serve our community.
This experience not only expanded my knowledge by letting me apply what I am learning in school but also provided me with a clear goal as I approach the final stretch of my college education. I especially enjoyed participating in town hall meetings and collaborating with consultants to review business plans, which gave me a deeper understanding of the practical aspects of economic development.
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute and learn. It was a rewarding experience that has solidified my passion in this field.
