Employee spotlight
Many of our interns stay onboard and start their careers at Sound Transit. Get to know some of them:
“My internship with Sound Transit’s Communications department was the perfect way to marry my Environmental Studies/Urban Sustainability major with my English Literature major. I was exposed to so many different career paths and learning opportunities while working for an agency with a mission I believe in."
“I had the unique opportunity to be a core member of the Connect 2020 Ambassador committee, which was a special experience for me. It was amazing to be able to see it from start to finish. I learned skills during my internship that I couldn't learn in the classroom, and for that I'm grateful.”
