My name is Ladana Jenkins.
I am currently Academic Internship Faculty here
at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.
I've been here since 2010
where I teach career planning
but I also work with our academic internship students
preparing them for their internships and working with them
throughout the course of the semester for their internship.
I did a lot of free workshops for organizations.
I mean I just put myself out there.
Did career fairs, you know, volunteered my services.
A lot different things I did for free
you know, to begin it.
Get my name out there and to build, you know,
my experiences.
But I also went to school too.
I thought it was good for me to get a masters
in the area.
There's a lot of certificate programs.
I'm a member of The National Career Development Association
and they have a lot of programs and
continuing education things that you could do through that
and certifications that you can get.
