Hi, all.

0:03  
It's Aman from the Kaptivate Team.

0:05  
Happy Career Technical Education Month.

0:08  
I wanted to hop on today and tell you guys a little bit about my virtual work based learning experience and all the learning that I've gotten to do in the past year.

0:15  
It all started with the job Shadow Day last, last spring, with Kaptivate.

0:19  
I was able to go to the office in Alexandria, Virginia and meet a bunch of the DC Metro employees in addition to the virtual employees in Alabama, Washington State, and Maine.

0:29  
It was an amazing day and I got to learn all about the projects that Kaptivate was doing.

0:32  
And I finally got an answer to what Strategic Communications was.

0:36  
At the end of that day, Jenn Stein, the Program Manager for Work-based Learning at Kaptivate mentioned a summer internship after a week or so I reached out and decided I wanted to learn more about the possibility of working with Kaptivate over the summer, I knew I was going to be virtual.

0:51  
So I'd let Jenn know about that as I was going to be in New York City, taking some classes with NYU.

0:56  
I decided to join for the summer after Jenn offered me the position and I was super excited to get to learn more.

1:02  
During the summer, I had attended my classes at NYU.

1:05  
In addition to my daily virtual stand ups with Kaptivate, it was here that I was able to feel a part of the community at Kaptivate.

1:12  
And I felt really embraced by my employer.

1:14  
I had an amazing time over the summer and when Jenn offered me to continue on during the school year, I decided that that sounded like an amazing idea.

1:21  
Some of the projects that I was working on over the summer, I was able to see them come to fruition in the fall and I'm continuing to see the amazing work happen.

1:29  
Now as I continue to college in the fall, I can't wait to see the work that Kaptivate continues to do.

1:34  
And I'm super excited to see where the company continues to go.

1:37  
I've had an amazing experience in the last year getting to know incredible people from across the U.S. and form amazing connections with them.

1:45  
Thanks so much.
