At CFN, the arrival of summer marks an exciting tradition: welcoming a new cohort of talented students from diverse educational backgrounds and disciplines.

Each year, these bright and ambitious individuals bring fresh perspectives, creative ideas, and infectious enthusiasm to teams across our organization. Whether they’re supporting ongoing projects or helping to launch new initiatives, their contributions are invaluable to our continued innovation and growth. We’re always inspired by their curiosity, drive, and ability to challenge us to think differently, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll make over the coming weeks.


Today, we’re excited to highlight Jared, our Human Resources Assistant Summer Student.

This summer, Jared joined Centre for Newcomers (CFN) as a Human Resources Assistant Summer Student. In his role, he supports CFN’s Human Resources team with a variety of tasks across the organization.


For Jared, the experience has been an opportunity to explore the many moving parts of an organization and see how they connect. He came to CFN hoping to gain experience in the non-profit sector, learn more about the day-to-day work of Human Resources, and better understand how HR supports everyone in the workplace.


Learning by Doing

Among the projects Jared has enjoyed most are reviewing and organizing HR policies and helping advisors with additional tasks that improve office workflow. Through this hands-on work, he is building practical skills while contributing to the team’s daily operations.


One lesson has stood out: taking initiative matters. Jared has learned the value of looking for ways to help and stepping forward when support is needed.


Advice for Future Summer Students

“I would say it’s a great learning experience, and you’ll have a lot of fun.”


Jared’s summer at CFN shows how curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn can turn an internship into a meaningful introduction to the non-profit sector and the important role Human Resources plays within an organization.

It's inspiring to see how Jared is leveraging his HR skills to support newcomers! I wonder if there are specific initiatives you think could enhance the integration process even more car games?

eero — This new entertainment concept sounds like a fantastic addition to Beloit’s downtown. The combination of duckpin bowling, mini-golf, arcade games, and a lively atmosphere should create a memorable experience for families, friends, and visitors while bringing fresh energy to the area.

A friend mentioned citation management tools comparison, and later writing a literary analysis somehow became the most useful part of our study session.

Found this while looking for a quick online game. Mad Drive has simple mechanics but surprisingly challenging stages.
