<p>I didn't have much detail so I've added some and was outside of the 20 minute mark for editing my thread. I'll repost the updated version below:</p>

This is a program in my county for freshman applicants. They are given a chance to attend workshops on leadership and becomming more active members of their communities.

<p>If I think of anything else, I'll add it.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a job that would look good on my resume. Maybe something showing demonstrated interest in engineering? My town is the headquarters for the second largest chemical company in the world but I don't know what position would be good to apply for.
There's also a sizable medical center in town but I've checked on their site and no positions are open. </p>
<p>I'd like to get a research/intern position</p>
<p>Suggestions are welcome. Tell me your opinions of the colleges I have listed. I'm open to any information the community can give me.</p>
