Interning at The Right Place

Elise Rapeyko, our Marketing & Communications Intern for Summer and Fall of 2023, shares her experience of what it was like to intern at The Right Place.

“After working at The Right Place, I have come to realize their people are actively trying to develop the economy here in West Michigan, meaning if you were to relocate here, you are guaranteed to find something you love to do and make money doing what you love to do!”

“I have found that the company culture is very welcoming. Everyone wants to get to know you, help you out with anything you need, and I really appreciated that as an intern.”

“Some advice I'd give for newcomers interning at The Right Place are getting well acquainted with the email and calendar system so that you know what people are doing and when. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, especially to your supervisors, in case you need direction or an understanding of the process; they can definitely help!”
