Brooklyn Navy Yard
I’m currently interning at Brooklyn Navy Yard’s external affairs department. brooklyn navy yard is one is the biggest nonprofit organization in new york city. They have created about 16,000 jobs within the navy yard in the last 12 years and aim to create more jobs for the people in new york city to help to end the wage gap.
In the external affairs department, I mostly work with the junior graphic designer and design flyers, posters to promote future events and other gatherings that take place in the navy yard. Besides that, I also help out with the office works such as answering phone calls, making phone calls, running errands for the office or the employment center etc.
I started this internship in October 2018 and my supervisors were very friendly and helpful. They explained everything I needed to do when I was there and always was open for me to ask questions if I was ever confused about anything. My supervisor recently left so now I am working with my other coworkers. In my second month of being there, I was assigned to recreate a 96-page presentation in powerpoint. I didn’t even know how to use powerpoint and I taught myself and recently finished working on that document which I am very proud of.
