Testimonials
My time at Parsons during my internship proved to be an incredibly enriching experience. I had the privilege of receiving valuable advice from seasoned professionals with decades of industry experience in both Canada and the Middle East. My internship served as a significant enhancement to my learning journey, and I am genuinely grateful for the valuable experience it provided.
Talha Bashir Ahmad
Infrastructure Intern, Infrastructure NA
My internship at Parsons is one of the single greatest experiences of my life. As a first-year intern, you never know what to expect. I certainly couldn’t have imagined the level of dedication and amount of time that my manager invested in my professional growth. This internship made me a better professional, student and person.
Jordan Spivey
Defense & Intelligence Intern
My internship at Parsons allowed for the perfect adjustment from academia to work experience. Everyone I worked with and for made sure I was comfortable with my workload while also pushing me to learn more at the same time. I’ve gained real world experience to excel my professional career and couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity I had last summer and to return this summer to work for Parsons.
