"I enjoyed the people within the organization. Everyone was friendly and always willing to help me when I needed it. They also took the time to get to know my life outside of work, which was nice."

"What I liked most was the variety of things I learned. I’m happy my internship wasn’t limited to simply hardware or business tools, but also included software and analytics. I liked that I felt welcomed and that I had many people to ask questions and an intern site coordinator to go to when I need help. I was able to learn so much because I had a little more autonomy on what I wanted to work on or what projects I wanted to try out."
Eda Barut, IT student worker, Wichita, KS
"The job shadow experience helped me gain a more realistic view of the day to day of being an accountant. Additionally, it helped me better understand the interactions between the accountant and their client. "
Marissa Scott, student, Overland Park, KS
"In my job shadowing experience, I learned if I spend all of my time looking for solutions, rather than just listening, I will miss out on all the key information. Studying accounting and getting to experience it was very eye opening in the most insightful way."
Juan Chavira, student, Overland Park, KS
"Adams Brown fosters a culture of innovation. Employees are encouraged to take ownership of their personal and professional development, and we have direct access to leadership."
