Last spring, Lane County worked with two recent Bushnell University graduates, Isabella “Bella” Hernandez ‘25 and Ashley Flores ‘25, to give them hands-on experience through two separate internships!   For Bella’s internship with Lane County Talent Acquisition, she helped organize and attend job fairs, gaining insight from the other side of the table. “As a student, I’ve gone to job fairs, but being the person talking to other students and representing the organization — that was a whole new experience,” she said. “I also really enjoyed writing job postings.”   Ashley’s internship with Labor Relations and Talent Management included revamping the county’s Learn Empower Achieve Perform training program, required for all new employees. “I rewrote the safety and protocol training. It was fun to learn a new system and figure out how to phrase things clearly. It really confirmed that I enjoy this type of work.”   For both alumnae, they found the right fit for their internships through conversation and guidance from our Career Development Coordinator, Whitney Shoun, M.S., whom they both expressed immense gratitude for. “The best part of the internship program is Whitney. Whitney, period,” Ashley and Bella said. “She made everything easier. I know a lot of schools don’t require internships, but Bushnell does — and that really helps you build experience and a network.”   Great work, Bella and Ashley!
