This internship has taught me more than I could have ever thought to learn in a classroom setting. Between the projects I got to complete by myself and the hands-on experiences I got to experience, I truly feel that this internship has been an eye opener for me. In this professional setting I have learned to develop my interpersonal skills, my communication skills, teamwork and leadership skills, confidence, and more. With gaining knowledge about the criminal justice field during this time period, I also developed more professional skills that I will take with me even upon graduation and into my career.<\/p>\n<p>With all the rewards of this internship, there were some challenges that I had to overcome. The most challenging part of this internship was being the only intern in my unit. This made it difficult to connect and network with other students going through similar internship experiences. Another challenge I had to overcome was getting adjusted to the work originally assigned to me, as I was starting in a brand-new role at a new organization. However, my supervisor\u00a0was extremely understanding about the work I wanted to do, and I enjoyed the majority of what I did. Overall, I am very pleased to be able to put my foot in the door in another agency in New Jersey following my internship last year at the New Jersey State Police. I am thrilled to take what I learned in these professional settings to now apply it in the classroom and my careers to follow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-606\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-1-224x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-1-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-1-764x1024.png 764w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-1-768x1030.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-1.png 783w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-607\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-2-224x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-2-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/08\/O.C.-2.png 718w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Olivia Ciccimarra, Criminal Justice &#8217;24<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My internship with the New Jersey State Parole Board was without a doubt rewarding and overall, an amazing experience.
