Learning Through Leadership
Intern Reflections on Professional Growth
At Presidio Education®, our college interns are more than just assistants — they are rising professionals who contribute meaningfully to our mission. In this section, interns reflect on what they’ve learned about work ethic, leadership, and emotional intelligence while supporting our programs. Their insights offer guidance to younger students and peers about the mindset and maturity required to thrive in a professional environment.
Sofia Robles, Sustainability Team Captain (College Intern). Presidio Education®, 2020.
I would teach younger students to be professional in the workplace by dressing respectfully and being on time. I would also say to stay optimistic and know that it is okay to ask for help. It is important to uphold a mature attitude in the workplace because it contributes to the environment and productivity. Having an immature attitude can lead to problems for the individual and team members. The problems that will arise can be a loss of creativity and performance. I would teach younger students to not let their emotions get the best of them in the workplace by understanding triggers and to try to turn what it is that is making them emotional into a positive transformation.

Brittney Powers, Content Editor (College Intern). Presidio Education®, 2020.
It is important to keep improving work ethic, including responsibility and accountability, because self-improvement will always create positive results. Being on time for deadlines, projects and assignments is something that you are taught in school, but not only does it benefit your grades, it also trains you to be a reliable and effective employee. It shows your coworkers and employers that you both care about your job and are an effective employee who they can trust to get work done on time. The important part is to take responsibility for your actions, not by making excuses.

Professional Growth for Future Leaders
Preparing College Interns for Meaningful Careers
At Presidio Education®, we offer selective internship opportunities to college students who are hardworking, honest, and intellectually curious. Our goal is to help young adults gain valuable career training that aligns with their academic goals and long-term professional interests. Through targeted mentorship and real project experience, we empower our interns to take initiative, develop strong problem-solving abilities, and think creatively under pressure.
In addition to supporting operations, interns work closely with our English faculty to strengthen professional writing, communication, and critical thinking skills — all essential for high-performance careers. They draft reports, contribute to collaborative projects, and learn the importance of clarity and tone in written communication.
What truly distinguishes our internship program is its emphasis on social impact. Interns actively contribute to our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Presidio Impact projects, working on initiatives that support underserved communities locally and abroad. They don't just assist — they help design, improve, and lead meaningful solutions. This commitment to building more equitable and inclusive communities is what makes our interns exceptional.
Investing in Tomorrow’s Professionals
A Purpose-Driven Internship Experience
At Presidio Education®, we offer college students an opportunity to grow both professionally and personally through internships designed to hone leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Our program goes beyond academic knowledge, focusing on real-world applications that empower interns to not only contribute to the team but also lead initiatives that create tangible impact.
One of the core components of our internship is guiding interns in how to mentor and motivate younger students, particularly those who face challenges with academic engagement or motivation. We equip our interns with the skills to build trust, inspire confidence, and help students find their path toward academic success. Our interns learn to identify when students are struggling and how to offer constructive support that encourages perseverance and personal growth.
Problem-solving is at the heart of our training. While collaboration is crucial, interns are encouraged to take initiative and lead projects that drive positive change within our organization. From improving internal processes to directly impacting our Presidio Impact initiatives, our interns work on projects that foster both innovation and teamwork. They learn how to lead with integrity, guide teams effectively, and, most importantly, stay committed to their goals, even when faced with setbacks.
To be truly effective in their roles, our interns are also encouraged to understand and embrace the broader context of society. This means fostering an awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and recognizing the unique needs and challenges faced by different communities. By learning to appreciate diverse perspectives and engaging with communities in meaningful ways, our interns gain a deeper understanding of their impact on the world around them and how they can contribute to building more inclusive and equitable environments.
At the end of the program, our interns don’t just leave with enhanced skills—they leave with a deeper understanding of how to motivate others, overcome challenges, contribute to causes greater than themselves, and build a more inclusive future for everyone.
