As a Cloud Support Associate Intern, Vincent’s experience mainly focused on Amazon Web Services. He was given the opportunity to gain certifications and work on project integration, while getting hands-on experience in labs. These certifications are crucial for validating expertise in cloud technologies and are highly valued in the tech industry. Vincent's internship provided him with access to specialized training resources and labs where he could practice and apply his knowledge in real-time scenarios.
Vincent was relocated to Seattle for his role, where exploring the city and meeting new people became a highlight of his experience. Connecting with fellow interns and other professionals in the industry was a rewarding aspect of his experience.
“All the Amazonians that I have met have also been very welcoming and friendly, which made it easy to connect and meet people!” said Vincent.
