What Our Community Partners have to Say!

"We had a terrific intern at the Institute for Community Inclusion. It was a pleasure to have her as part of the ICI team. She came with valuable experience in the Human Resource field. She was hard working, she had solid Microsoft Word and Excel skills and a fantastically positive attitude. She was a real team player and she did everything and above, that the job required."

"Resource Partnership is thoroughly enjoying our growing collaboration with Boston University's Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation. Our staff first presented to a very receptive group of students there, which generated some excellent referrals for our own job placement program. We have also benefited from having your students speak at employer education events for us, and we are looking forward to your participation on our Advisory Council. We have found the staff at BU's Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation to be extremely professional and we suspect this is the start of a long-lasting and successful partnership."

"Over the past few years the Evaluation Center@HSRI has been extremely lucky to have been a placement site for three great interns. All of the interns came well prepared and willing and eager to learn about mental health services research. Our first intern is still employed with us as a part-time employee. It has been a great learning experience for me to be small part of the recovery process for three amazing individuals. We look forward to having more interns in the future."

"We have had a long term, positive collaborative relationship with Kim Bisset and the Training for the Future program trainees. It has evolved into a partnership where we can expect a steady flow of well qualified interns from the TFTF Program. These interns are always well prepared to assist us with our agency’s mission to provide information, education and referrals for those struggling with substance abuse issues. Our past interns have had a professional attitude, strong computer skills and a genuine interest in the important service we provide for the public. We look forward to the new interns in the years to come."
