“Within the first month of my internship, I knew that, if the opportunity arose, I would want to return to Forrester upon graduation. My role challenged me to think more critically and work creatively in ways that I had not before. My manager facilitated an individualized experience where I was not treated as an intern but as a colleague. I felt trusted to explore my ideas and take on responsibilities that pushed me to gain confidence and ability, whether it was leading meetings with senior employees, pitching ideas for campaign strategies, or working across departments to streamline their content process.” 

“Interning with the Salesforce team at Forrester allowed me to gain invaluable experience that led to my first job post-graduation as an associate QA consultant at Salesforce. My internship helped me refine my desired career path by showing me how my computer science skill set can be applied to various roles, including quality assurance/testing and business analysis. I also sharpened my professional skills through opportunities to present to executive leadership and facilitate software training sessions for my team.” 

“My Forrester internship showed me firsthand what solving business problems with machine learning could look like. Over the summer, I built a proof of concept for a generative AI chatbot that allowed users to converse with Forrester’s research. The architecture behind this tool was then adapted and transformed into Forrester’s client-facing genAI tool, Izola. Working on real, impactful projects at Forrester progressed my technical ability astronomically.”
