EAW Graduate Testimonials
“Thanks to my time at Education at Work (EAW), I was not only able to decrease my total student debt and gain new skills but also form lifelong friendships. I am so thankful to have had this job and every time I encounter someone preparing to start college I am so eager to share information about EAW and the impact it had on my life.”
“EAW prepared me to be a successful employee upon graduation. I had the experience, connections, and financial security I needed to now be a leader in my company. I am on a 2-3 year lead from most people who would be going for the same position. EAW gave me experience I never would have had since I was not in a program with internships.”
“EAW allowed me to graduate with less student debt and afforded me the opportunity to start my career earlier.”
“EAW was the first job I had where you were encouraged to set goals with your manager. It made me comfortable with management and taught me the benefits of planning for the future.”
