The HCC Impact
HCC Network - HCC serves as a resource for future Partners employees beyond those who did their internship with Partners. Danielle worked with the Boston Public Health Commission as an intern, but she is now working for Partners.
- The diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and interests of other interns
- Preparation for internship and next steps – graduate school and career
- Opportunity for practical, hands-on exploration of the field of public health
- Contacts gained through informational interviews and internship projects
- Mentorship – "Gaining a mentor in Jeff Oxendine, who has helped me through each step along the way"
- Motivation to confidently explore and learn about new areas of public health
“During my internship, I learned the importance of building and cultivating relationships with those you work with. This lesson has guided me daily in my current position as I meet and work with new people in an organization that is very consensus-driven.”
- Interns offer a fresh perspective and new, potential solutions to old problems.
- Interns are eager to learn and motivated to act on opportunities
- Interns serve as a great source of publicity and as a key link between the organization and the intern’s network of peers and colleagues
“Yes. It is good to think of HCC as a recruitment tool. Many HCC alums go on to be quite successful, with graduate degrees and great work experience. It would be advantageous for Partners to connect with these stars early in their careers.”
