Meet Mark S.

Child Intervention Reporting Intern

Ministry of Children's Services, Government of Alberta

Winter 2019 (12 month term)

"I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with Children’s Services. Through AWE, I have developed a deeper understanding of government legislation, policy development, and program evaluation. I’ve also gained practical experience with data visualization, data analytics, using programming languages in a workplace environment. I am still only halfway through my internship experience, but I feel like there is still so much more to learn. Thanks to the AWE program, I am absolutely ecstatic to see what the future has in store for me."
