MSBDC Western Digital Office; Springfield, MA

Primary job responsibilities:
serve as secondary advisor to clients who are starting or own a small business, offer guidance and work to develop business strategy and financial projections.
Over the course of this placement my responsibilities as an advisor increased.

As a whole I would rate this field placement between excellent and very good. I would recommend this to other students due to the great supervisors, and you can learn a lot. If i could change one thing about this internship, i would like the interns to have the chance to develop more independent roles as consultants.

My advice to other students is to make sure that you find out what the day to day work will entail for your internship. see if you can do a trial day or sit in beforehand.
