I had the pleasure of participating in the Gaming Market Research & Analytics Externship organized by Paragon One and the hosting company Mobalytics, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. As someone who has no knowledge about gaming and web3, I was excited to gain insights into the industry and learn about the various data-driven approaches used to analyze player behavior.

The program was well-structured and provided a great balance between theoretical learning and practical application. The team at Paragon One and Mobalytics was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire externship. They were always available to answer any questions and provided valuable feedback on my work.

One aspect that stood out to me was the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork. I had the opportunity to work with other externs on various projects, which allowed me to develop my communication and problem-solving skills.

Overall, I highly recommend Paragon One Externship to anyone interested in having real-time experience in the workplace. The program provides a comprehensive industry overview and equips you with the skills needed to succeed in your chosen field.

It was an inclusive ad insightful program that helped me to broaden
my network and gain experience as well.

My internship experience was truly remarkable as I had the opportunity to work with renowned mentors and talented teams at National Geographic and the Nature Conservancy. Throughout the internship, I developed the ability to conduct both primary and secondary research and communicate effectively through delivering compelling stories. Through the guidance of my mentors, I honed my writing skills and learned how to professionally present information. I am grateful for the enriching experience and look forward to applying these skills in my future endeavors.

Everything was well-organized and the platform is really easily accessible.

This Externship provided me an opportunity to work in the most culturally diverse environment in a team of like-minded youth. The most interesting part was gaining a new skill in ArcGIS Storymap writing, which is a compelling way of easily communicating research findings to stakeholders. The ability to collaboratively share ideas and do work, especially in our student-led time helped me improve my communication skills and confidence. Meeting some of the NGS+TNC mentors provided me with a real idea of what takes place on-site. The connection and friendship that have built through this externship shall stand the test of time! The career guidance I got in the process has made me also a career coach to my peers. The entire externship was just amazing!

Easy platform to navigate and great mentorship! A great opportunity for college students to gain experience in their field.

I loved externing at Paragon One because (1) all the staff are super helpful and always answering questions even though the externship is completely remote (2) the platform I submitted deliverables on is sleek and modern rather than clunky (3) I learned a ton of consulting frameworks that I didn’t read about in Marc Cosentino’s “Case in Point: Government and Nonprofit” (4) the challenge that the nonprofit we externs worked to provide solutions for is actually real so the entire experience felt genuine and meaningful (5) I networked with a lot of like-minded budding professionals that have all sorts of career aspirations

the support and patient

The most defining moments of my Paragon One externship were those that involved talking to lead JA staff and learning about financial education in the K-5 space. I also enjoyed the projects and the timelines involved in completing them. An amazing experience, honestly!

I had an amazing experience with Paragon One. The team were so helpful and always responded to emails and my queries on time. They were very supportive and feedbacks for the projects were also very good and critical which was helpful.

I participated on the Paragon One Consulting Externship in collaboration with PwC. I had an amazing time!

My externship with Paragon One was a great experience that I will never forget. I participated in a nonprofit consulting remote externship with PwC and I gained a lot of insights about the nonprofit sector. I appreciate the guidance from all the managers involved in the program. I would definitely do another externship with Paragon One, as I gained many relevant skills.

My schedule the semester that I did my externship was very hectic... sports and a class schedule that never matched up with the meetings. Michael Guerroro ( I honestly don't think I spelled that right) was the head of the program. Very kind and wanted everyone to be caught up, gave me a little extra time when I fell behind and was always willing to answer questions in the office hours he made.

manager gave a lot of internship advice, and the platform was also very helpful for learning and completing work, and I gained a lot

What made my experience great was definitely the knowledge I gained, the connections I made with local leaders as well as the opportunity to network internationally.

Thanks to all the mentoring and supporting, I had the opportunity to learn and develop skills that will help me in my future work life.

Having to connect with students from other nationalities was a good experience for me

Networking us with people from all over the world is a very good way of sharing knowledge on the subject matter. Through the meetings and the platform itself, learning process was very clear and easy to catch up with what everyone else is doing. However, I would suggest that freedbacks could be provided on time, and allow a thorough discussion with the student incase he/she may need to clarify anything. For example on my final presentation, the society I was dealing with, were not ready to be filmed so I couldn’t get relevant pictures. If the platform could allow for prior clarification before providing marks, things would work more better.

I have had series of online training but this has been my best so far. From the onboarding sessions to the last deliverables which was my project. The training outline was great and the learning platform was embedded with lots of resources to learn about water scarcity and I can play a role in mitigating and curbing it. The program manager Christie and the TAs and played a fantastic role when it comes to mentoring and giving feedback on how we can understand the content and improve our learning experience. The company meetings also helped me to relate well with the program and I learnt about sustainability. This training has equipped me adequately to be able to work at sustainability sectors

The online modules were easy to follow and there was thorough information to complete the assignments. Julia, our project manager made sure that every zoom meeting was in interactive and that all were engaged. These 7 weeks helped me learn how to better manage my time with uni and work. I enjoyed working with 826 Valencia and PwC on this project!
