Hello! I’m Travis Robinson. I’m delighted and grateful to be working with the Institute for Workforce Excellence as the Program Operations Intern.
I grew up in Whiteland, Indiana, a lovely small community about 30 minutes south of downtown Indianapolis. I enjoyed my time at Whiteland High School, which helped me set me on the professional path I am currently pursuing.
After high school, I began my studies at Purdue University. Studying agricultural systems management and data-driven agriculture has been an eye-opening experience. I have learned more than I could have imagined from some very intelligent professors. I am going into my senior year at Purdue eager to learn more. Although I know I will miss my university experiences, I’m also excited to use all that I’ve learned in a professional setting.
The Institute for Workforce Excellence has given me a wonderful opportunity to see what this professional setting will look like. I have learned a lot about applying my knowledge to achieve specific goals. Projects involving data management, employer outreach, customer service, and more have been very useful in expanding my business skillset. Also, the team here has been lovely to work with. I appreciate this learning experience and hope I can make a meaningful contribution during my time as the Program Operations Intern.
While operations and analytics are my interests in a professional setting, I have some hobbies I deeply cherish. Playing music, especially guitar and piano, is a wonderful outlet to my artistic side. I love to work out and play pickup basketball to stay in shape. Additionally, I find value in mindfulness practices such as meditation. This, along with reading, helps me maintain my mental health and explore fascinating concepts such as the philosophy of mind.
I look forward to the rest of my time with the Institute for Workforce Excellence and hope to learn as much as possible.
