    TESTIMONIALS

    “Since 2011, I have partnered with Amy on internships in my role as Internship Manager at Davenport University. Dozens of events, and hundreds of emails and questions later, I can honestly say that she is my “Go To” employer to feature on internship success. She has shared tools she and her interns created and is always at the ready to talk to employers building new intern programs. Whenever she is not available to tell her story, I am able to tell mine – now that I have used her program to manage my own interns for the past 4 years! With Amy’s support of Davenport and other partner colleges, I believe our region is especially strong in talent development.”

    “Our Community’s Children (OCC) is a public/private partnership between the City of Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Public Schools, and community partners. For the last 10 years, we’ve leaned on MBS to facilitate a resume/cover letter/interview workshop to hundreds of our 15- to 25-year-old students enrolled in our Leadership and Employment, Achievement and Direction program. Amy comes with not only a wealth of experience in an ever-changing employment market, but she also provides a level of one-on-one assistance that gives our youth the confidence they need for meaningful employment. We highly recommend CROSSROADS to any person or organization that needs this type of professional development.”

    “Amy Marshall has been an incredible asset to Aquinas and the West Michigan Internship Initiative. We have asked Amy on several occasions to present, both in person and virtually, to employers within to strengthen their existing internship program or start anew. Her conversational and professional tone is both instructive and engaging and most participants in our workshops point to her portion as the most valuable takeaway. Additionally, Amy’s insider perspective is instrumental in communicating with students her skills in public speaking and on Zoom set students at ease while stressing the importance of maintaining a polished presence.”
