The SikhLEAD New Jersey Internship program began a speakership series designed to help the interns build relationships, learn about job opportunities and grow their workplace skills.
The first of the series invited Assemblyman Daniel R. Benson to speak to the interns in an intimate roundtable about his experience in state government. The interns were able to speak freely to the Assemblyman about politics, legislation and their career path. In addition, he said he would available as a mentor for the SikhLEAD interns. The second speakership series invited Middlesex County Freeholder Kenneth Armwood and Chief of Staff for Assemblyman Karabinchak, Shariq Ahmad, the first South Asian Chief of Staff in the New Jersey legislature.
The SikhLEAD New Jersey Internship Program cohort will be attending these speakership series throughout the month of August. The upcoming series will include speakers such as LTC Kamal S. Kalsi and Inspiring South Asian American Women (ISAAW) president Suchitra Kamath.
