Our Students Say It Best!
Erin Rank was excited to be selected as the overall second pick during the ninth annual Lambeau Field Internship Draft Day. A year later, she was ecstatic about being selected first! Erin was chosen based on her work-related experiences, extracurricular activities, grade point average, and interviewing skills. She was awarded several thousand dollars in scholarships and made multiple connections for potential internship opportunities.
I had a professional resume, wrote the job descriptions of each job, researched and wrote questions about each company. It definitely feels awarding and all my hard work is paying off.”
Matthew Taddy knew furthering his education was something he wanted to do. He also knew himself well enough that he wasn’t going to be comfortable starting out at a four-year university. Like many Lakeshore students, Matthew chose to start here and then pursue his bachelor’s degree.
I chose the Business Management program at Lakeshore College because they are nationally ranked among technical colleges, they are very affordable compared to all other schools in the area, and many of my friends and family who attended Lakeshore had nothing but great things to say about their experience.”
