Discovery Connections uses a positive peer culture PPC. This means that students hold each other responsible for upholding shared values. Students take part in career exploration and community service. Exposure to life after therapy helps teens see the bigger picture and find themselves within it. The typical Discovery Connections student has had 2—3 other residential placements. They have struggled at other treatment centers because they often become dysregulated and escalate their negative thoughts and behaviors.
The Executive Director of Discovery Connections, Scott Bowman, has helped thousands of adolescents throughout his plus years of directing multiple for-profit and non-profit programs.
His sincere belief is that everyone owes it to themselves to give others the best version of themselves. Scott brings a strong track record of providing effective programming for the treatment-resistant teen that's enabled his programs to achieve and maintain a high graduation rate. At Discovery Connections, we understand that there is more to each teen's story than the worst parts. We believe each teen has a complex life story and there are many reasons why they might need additional help.
Only then can they heal. Teens come to Discovery Connections when other options have been exhausted. Many teens come to internalize the idea that they are beyond help. We give students all the support they need to succeed. We do not believe that anyone is beyond help. Teens who have failed to thrive at multiple other residential treatment programs may find help at Discovery Connections.
The small, community-based approach allows boys to find success. Through evidence-based research, Discovery Connections has found the smaller milieu to be the most effective way to treat this type of student. The smaller community enables the Clinical, Academic, Residential, and Experiential departments to be more tailored to the student's individual needs. Each of the departments within Discovery Connections shares the same goal—reuniting teens with their families.
To achieve this goal, departments work together to heal and thrive. Knoxville is Global Operations Headquarters and home to in-house production studios.

It was the first time that I felt like a professional software engineer. As a software engineer, I find it easy to get lost in delivering code. Something this internship has taught me is the importance of the bigger picture. Focusing too heavily on one piece of code is a mistake that can lower productivity.
This lesson is even true more broadly. The culmination of habits creates success and not the other way around. Discover has been a fantastic chance to gain exposure to software engineering and the financial services industry.
An important part of any internship experience is the learning opportunity. The people at Discover have delivered on that learning opportunity. Everyone here is always open to helping others learn and grow in their careers. Inspired to join the Discover team? Explore careers with us. Through those partnerships, in we awarded 8 MBA students with scholarships. This year, the scholarship recipients shared their sage advice, future aspirations and business school insights with us.
However, due to a lack of financial support, I was unable to pursue an MBA until now. It is a lot easier to get distracted when the destination is unknown to you and all you have is a goal. I would tell my younger self to stay focused. After graduating, I plan on leveraging my MBA and experience by working in the cosmetics industry.
I hope to start a new venture to center the queer and trans makeup experience and provide equity by involving our communities in the development and reinvestment phase. Be patient and stand in your truth. After feeling stagnated at my previous position as an analyst in specialty retail, I knew it was time to challenge myself again by exploring other positions and industries. My goal after graduation is to land at a company where I have impact in the work that I do and the communities around me.
Three major values have served me well throughout my life. Doing so demonstrates a true commitment to supporting diversity in the communities that Discover serves as a business. Business is often tasked with the sole role of generating money. I pursued an MBA so I could help reimagine how we think of business. I want to create a business that generates money and generates a difference. This MBA marks the moment I go hard, or go home. My next step will mix my background in psychology, business and art.
My advice to my younger self would be to think less about how people judge and more about what feels right. Mozart was only truly appreciated after time helped the world understand him. Be your crazy self now and give the people in your environment time to figure you out. Interested in joining the Discover team? I started at Discover as an Application Intern. There are only a few payment networks of this scale, so getting to work on one of them is exciting.
When I started at Discover full time, I had just graduated. We dedicate time during the day to develop our skills. However, at Discover we recognize the underlying enthusiasm in new grads. The virtual connection makes me feel welcome and made up for not being able to meet in person.
Coming from a technical background, soft skills can be easy to undervalue. However, I really appreciate that I now feel far more comfortable speaking up during meetings and demos than I ever have before. Our tech teams really care about our work. Towards the end of my internship, all the interns gave individual presentations to a group of senior leaders.
I was quite nervous leading up to the big day —presenting is not my strongest skill— but everyone was relaxed and friendly. The leaders asked questions about what I thought of the internship experience and were genuinely interested in what I had to say. The easiest way to start? Download a template. Look for a template that includes the below sections.
Use only one font and pick a font size no smaller than 11 pt. Margins should be at least 0. When writing bullet points, begin each line with an active verb Created, Built, Developed, Generated, Drove, Organized, etc.
Quantify accomplishments to show concrete value. State what you did, how you did it, and the result. Include the company name and job title in your personal statement. This can be particularly useful when writing your additional skills section or work experience section.
Recruiters screen their databases for keywords, so incorporating them naturally into your CV will help you stand out. Every company, and even every individual recruiter, will vary on their exact preferences. Follow these tips to build your initial version, and know that it will get better over time.
The most important thing is that you apply. I first learned about Discover from a consumer perspective when I was looking into different credit cards. Two months after my research, I started applying for summer internships.
