EMPLOYERS "I think it has been well planned and executed. Glad to have participated and look forward to working with the USC Career Center in the future." "As a financial services firm, when deciding between an intern or a part time employee, we did the math. What we werent prepared for was the quality of work provided by our intern. She has far exceeded our expectations, and surpassed the abilities of previous employees." "I think this allowed us to hire a couple of students that were especially qualified for the internship role that we otherwise would not have been able to hire. Great program all around!"	STUDENTS "I was extremely satisfied with my CIP experience. I was hired by my CIP employer to stay on for the fall, and over the course of the summer I learned more than I ever could have in a classroom! I will definitely participate next summer!" "I have gained valuable real world experience that I could not obtain in a classroom. I was able to learn a lot and benefit my employer as well." "The site visits conducted by the Career Center staff were extremely useful. It was a time set apart for reviewing projects the student has done, and the progress that was made in the students' performance. It was also a time for the supervisor to give any feedback."
