This summer we were excited to be a part of the Ignite Internship program with Ford Philanthropy! This year, we welcomed five interns who had the task of working with our marketing department to create a mock SWOT analysis and tips for SEO for Focus: HOPE! Thanks to Ford Philanthropy for including us in this amazing program and to our interns who worked hard on this project and came up with some amazing ideas!

This week has been one of the most productive, inspirational, informative weeks of my life! I want to start by thanking Focus: HOPE for Blessing me & my fellow classmates with the opportunity of a lifetime, to actually be able to see what we can achieve seeking careers in the Automotive Industry. I want to thank the Center for Automotive Research MBS2024 for providing my program the invitation to attend such a powerful event. The hospitality, networking, and the priceless knowledge gained via connections amongst many important people from so many companies and businesses from all over the world is something that will forever ignite my passion and drive as I seek to further my career in the Automotive Industry. Also the many students & interns who we exchanged connections with for our future projects, business plans and opportunities to come. It was great meeting you ALL! I look forward to our productive future together!!
