SHE WORKS Testimonials

I’ve been working on being more assertive and confident because these things do not really come naturally to me. SHE WORKS gave me the tools to do so in a professional manner while staying true to myself and uplifting my peers. The immense energy and passion behind this program was evident and the boost of encouragement that I really needed.

One of the greatest lessons I learned is to speak up for myself when it comes to sharing my thoughts and ideas.

Working as an intern was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
— Jennifer, SHE WORKS Graduate, UCONN Student
This experience taught me about entrepreneurship. It gave me more skills on how to be a leader. It showed me how important women’s empowerment is as well.
— Zaria, SHE WORKS Graduate, UCONN Student
The communication skills that I have strengthened throughout my internship have made me a more confident and ambitious person. I am grateful for this opportunity and will carry the lessons I have learned and the connections I have made with me throughout the rest of my career.
