Another job was earned this month by Semaj Sullivan who began interning in the Hopeworks Web department. Semaj came to Hopeworks as a high school student in December 2018. Spending his after school hours in the training room and taking advantage of opportunities to learn and grow professionally, he was able to earn this internship where he will design, develop, and lead client website projects. Semaj will continue his internship while attending Rutgers Camden in the fall!
“I came to Hopeworks with a plan to continue my educational career at Rutgers Camden and eventually gain my MBA through their Dual Enrollment program. Everyday after high school, I would come to Hopeworks from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM and gradually complete my training program while also involving myself with the Chat and Chew events that would be held where I was able to casually speak with and learn from various entrepreneurs.”
We’re excited to have Semaj on the web team!
