Do it Best reported it has concluded its 2023 Level Up Summer Internship Program by awarding a $1,000 scholarship to program participant and Taylor University student Grace Lee.

“This program represents our commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders by providing them with the tools they need to succeed,” said Celeste Stevens, director of human resources.

The Level Up Summer Internship Program provides students with opportunities to explore career interests, gain hands-on experience, and develop interpersonal skills.

“We empower our interns to embrace real-world challenges, collaborate with experienced professionals, and make meaningful impacts on the organizations they serve,” said Stevens.

This year, there were seven participating students. Each student was partnered with a dedicated supervisor and a cross-divisional mentor, said the company.

A key part of the internship program is the Capstone Presentation Project, where seven participating students presented their professional insights, growth, and accomplishments to Do it Best members.

These student-supervisor-mentor teams collaborated on weekly projects, attended professional development and social networking events, engaged in regular discussions, and volunteered in their community.

The highlight of the Level Up Summer Internship Program is the Capstone Presentation Project. This project requires each of the seven participating students to present their professional insights, growth, and accomplishments to Do it Best executive leadership team members, divisional directors, and other employees.

Each presentation, said the firm, was evaluated on coherence and organization, content and visuals, and overall delivery, and the winner was awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

“Grace’s performance, innovation, and leadership is an inspiring example for others,” said Stevens. “We congratulate Grace and commend all our interns for their hard work and enthusiasm during the Level Up Summer Internship Program.”
