- Intern Reflections -

Thanks to my internship at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE), I was able to study what market economy and freedom—the fundamental ideals of the Republic of Korea—really mean. It was difficult at first because I was adjusting, but now that the internship is over, I think it was just growing pains. The two months felt short in one sense and long in another, but they were enough time for compressed growth. I would definitely recommend the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) internship to others.

- Ho-jun Wang, Intern Researcher

Until now, I had only created materials at the university level, but with the help of the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE), I was able to deepen my understanding of practical work. I will treasure my experiences at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) and continue to grow further. Thank you!

- Chaehee Kang, Intern Researcher

It was a meaningful time in which I could learn about the free market and the economy while taking part in a variety of activities! I will continue to stay engaged and do my part to help the free market economy flourish.

- Juhyun Park, Intern Researcher

I think the greatest strength of the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) internship program is that it offers many opportunities to discover economics—something I had thought of only as a rigid and difficult theory—proactively in our daily lives. I was also able to build my capabilities in many areas by experiencing work such as audiobook production, Op-Ed writing, and book cover design. The valuable feedback I received through my internship at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) became the foundation that will help me take the next leap forward.

- Suhwa Jung, Intern Researcher

I learned a lot and had a very enjoyable time as an intern at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE). The Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) entrusted interns with independent responsibilities and had us engage in a variety of activities, including research, presentations, and content production. Through these experiences, I was able to learn something new and grow every week. In particular, activities such as writing Op-Eds, giving presentations, and designing book covers gave me many opportunities to demonstrate my ideas and creativity.

In addition, I was able to gain a wide range of information through interacting with my fellow interns. By sharing our experiences and knowledge, I was able to expand my personal network, and I was 200% satisfied to see us growing together!

- Minseong Kwon, Intern Researcher

During my internship at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE), I came to understand aspects of the real-world economy that I had not seen when studying economics academically. Thank you for all the help and guidance you gave me :)

- Chaerin Kim, Intern Researcher

Thanks to the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE), I was able to learn many things in a great environment. I am truly grateful that we were able to spend such valuable time together!

- Hyojae Hong, Intern Researcher

I wanted to gain a variety of experiences related to economics, even though it was unrelated to my major, and thanks to this internship I was able to learn a great deal of knowledge and gain many experiences. It was interesting that economics could be explored in many genres beyond simple economic news, and I also appreciated learning what I should study more going forward. Thank you so much for these past two months!

- Jisu Yang, Intern Researcher

It was a short period, but I was glad to gain a wide range of knowledge not only about current economic issues, but also about design, writing, and video production! I had been worrying a lot about my career path, but through the internship I gained confidence about the direction I want to take and was able to grow. It was even more meaningful because I spent this time together with teammates my own age. Thank you for taking such good care of me!!

- Yeonsu Choi, Intern Researcher

The internship was so fulfilling that the two months felt far too short! I was glad to be exposed to a variety of activities related to economics, and I think I was able to grow even more. If anyone is considering applying for an internship at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE), I would definitely encourage them to take on the challenge. Thank you for the past two months.

- Nakyung Cheon, Intern Researcher

It was such a shame that after working for only about two months during winter break, I was already completing the program. I was able to learn so much during the internship. Thanks to the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE), I am leaving with many wonderful memories. I sincerely thank everyone at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE).

- Jaehoon Jung, Intern Researcher

It is unfortunate that I cannot fully express all my gratitude in this short reflection. This internship experience will be a great source of nourishment for me going forward. It was also a precious time in which I could reflect on how, through the keyword “market economy,” we might create a society with “a better tomorrow than today.” Thank you so very much.

- Chansol Lee, Intern Researcher
