As summer begins, students across the country will be shedding the carefree summers of childhood in exchange for work experience and college credits in the form of internships. But beyond just completing a graduation requirement, research shows that internships create positive and crucially important outcomes for students as they move into the workforce and develop skills and interests, build networks and solidify career goals. .
On this episode of Moving Forward, Giving Back, we begin with a quick introduction to LSC Philadelphia’s new executive director Jennifer Parrado by our CEO Sarah MacDonald. Then Jenn talks with three alums of LSC’s summer internship program, Project Onramp. Project Onramp connects students to early work opportunities to explore pathways in our industry. Serena Burkinshaw, Fadi Shamaan, and Alain Santo Domingo discuss their internship experiences through Project Onramp, what they learned, tips for future participants, as well as the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone as you enter the workforce. It’s a timely and informative conversation that we can all benefit from at this time of year!

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
