Aleks Kablar is an intern this summer with Blackhawk’s Marketing & Communications and the Workforce and Community Development departments. He hopes to learn more about sales and marketing tactics and the different outlets to use when sharing messages.

Aleks applied for the internship through the Summer 2022 Rock County Internship Program, which pairs students with fields related to their interests and allows them to get real-world experience.

“I want to use this opportunity to learn more about the different types of marketing jobs available and to help point me in the direction that will be the best fit for me,” he said.

Aleks had the opportunity to work with the marketing department at Amwood/Advantage Homes in addition to Blackhawk, gaining experience in two different work environments.

Aleks is also interested in being able to network with other Rock County interns and people throughout the college and community in addition to learning more about marketing.

“This internship will give me an opportunity to learn a wide variety of marketing techniques, from photography, video, graphic design, social media to networking and more,” he said.

In his spare time, Aleks likes to lift weights and play tennis, as well as hang out with friends and play video games.
