Talent development wasn’t on Jessica Soetan‘s mind when she graduated from high school. “I didn’t really know what I was doing or what I’d be doing when I got to college,” says the INROADS alumna.
Now 23 years old, Soetan is a product manager with a large retail pharmacy chain in the Chicago area. She credits her current position to a multi-year business-management internship she received through INROADS.
“I stumbled upon it while looking for college scholarships on Fastweb online,” she recalls. Soetan notes that it’s pretty rare for a 16-year-old girl to find a paid internship, let alone one that provides such in-depth talent development.
