Here is what former intern, now Development Manager, Dulce had to say about her experience:

I had a great start to my software development career by interning at CU Direct. On my first day as an intern at CU Direct, I received a warm welcome from the Dealer Portal Team, who made me feel appreciated and invested in onboarding me to the project. I immediately felt at home. Within the first month, I knew that I wanted to join CU Direct full-time after graduation because I had a great support system and mentors who took the time to guide me. I embraced my "intern" position to learn as much as I could from others. I felt empowered to take risks and learn from each experience.
