Testimonials

"I recently completed my micro internship at AAM - American Axle & Manufacturing, organized through Digital Lakes. Throughout my time there, I worked alongside IT professionals to deliver products relating to device and server health, using tools such as Microsoft Powershell and Excel. I also had the opportunity to tour technical facilities and hear from associates working in engineering and quality assurance about how AAM is working to deliver high quality products to Michigan's automotive companies. I am leaving AAM with professional and technical skills that I am excited to use going forward. Special thanks to my mentor Kevin Linna and Digital Lakes for this opportunity."

"Such a great experience working at HAP alongside other interns while we investigated new ways to improve data research. One of my favorite experiences was implementing AI technology within our work. A big thank you to my peers for being such wonderful collaborators during our final presentation this afternoon. Until next time!"

"The interns spent their first two weeks with Infrastructure and Operations. They learned not only about configuring a laptop, they learned about Servers, Storage, Network, Tools, etc. Those weeks went well! This week they were with our Chief Technology Office (CTO) team. I just left a presentation they did as an assignment from the CTO Team to 'Compare SAFe and TOGAF'. They did a great job researching, building the presentation, and presenting it to the CTO leadership team. They let us know that they learned quite a bit from being given an assignment."

"Like the Mackinac Bridge connects the Lower and Upper Peninsula’s of Michigan. Health Alliance Plan and Digital Lakes are working together to bridge the talent gap in MI, giving interns opportunities to continue careers in their home state when they graduate. As we become more hashtag data driven , expanding career paths in hashtag IT , cybersecurity and data analytics will be more of a priority for companies."

"Over the last month, I had the opportunity to explore the automotive industry through my internship at Magna International! My project focused on testing the accuracy of an Inertial Measurement Unit's gyroscope, and I learned about how sensors like these can provide navigational abilities even when a GPS signal is unavailable. Thank you to Magna and Digital Lakes for this amazing opportunity!"

"Incredibly grateful to have been able spend the day learning more about the racing community but also seeing the RECARO Automotive display at The Henry Ford this week. Thank you so much Nicole for taking your time to show the Digital Lakes interns the race world even more. "

"Digital Lakes provided me with the fantastic opportunity to visit Google's Detroit office. We toured the entire facility, which included many rooms dedicated to employee well-being, with the massage room being a standout. Most importantly, we received valuable industry knowledge and advice from Liz Morgan and Zoran Lazovski. It was a great experience, and I look forward to seeing how Google continues to impact AI and Detroit’s automotive industry."

It has been an incredible learning experience, thanks to the collaborative teams at KPMG who welcomed me and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way ... I want to especially thank Digital Lakes for allowing me to participate in this enriching program and I am excited to carry forward these insights."
