The Amboy Guardian * June 6, 2018 NJ STEM Pro- gram Initiative Press Release 5/29/18 HAMILTON– Assemblyman Daniel Benson (D-Mercer, Mid- dlesex) applauds Tuesday an- nouncement of Governor Mur- phy’s continued commitment to developing affordable college education in New Jersey and his support of STEM programs: “The NJ Career Accelerator Internship Program will be a fan- tastic opportunity to allow STEM students to develop their skills in a professional environment. The growing importance of intern- ships cannot be stressed enough. Giving our students the chance to secure paid internships will allow them to take advantage of this www.amboyguardian.com program without suffering -eco nomic hardship, a situation that I can personally relate to. “When I was a physics stu- dent at Georgetown University, I could not afford to take an unpaid internship in my field, and instead worked in the library and as a teaching assistant. My experience was not unique, as I have heard from many students that often they are unable to take these criti- cal stepping stones to a quality first job. This new program will ensure that our best and bright- est will have access to career en- hancing opportunities regardless of financial background. “Through this and other pro- grams, our students will be re- warded for their continued contri- butions to our economy. With the promise of financial assistance during and after college, these new initiatives will encourage our students to live and work in New Jersey for years to come.”
