Indium Corporation continues to support the professional success of its internship students through its first-ever intern mixer, held on July 14.
The mixer, hosted at Indium Corporations corporate headquarters in Clinton, was designed to give its summer interns the opportunity to network with the companys full-time employees, a number of whom were previously interns themselves.
Nearly 30 interns and Indium Corporation employees attended the event, which featured a panel discussion and mixer opportunities.
Ive really enjoyed my experience here at Indium Corporation, said Jack Steger, marketing communications intern. Since day one, I was thrown into working on projects, internal announcements, and Ive just continued to grow, and my plate (of responsibilities) has continued to grow.
Quality Engineering Applications Specialist Kay Parker, who was a chemical engineering summer intern in 2015, said she had a number of different internships in college, but Indium Corporations real-world opportunities and professional development opportunities make it stand apart from other internship programs.
One of the main distinguishing factors between the internship here at Indium Corporation and (my other internships) was the fact that Indium Corporation actually gives you real-world opportunities to work on projects that are currently being used or will be used at some point.
Jim McCoy, talent acquisition supervisor, said the internship program is not your average internship due in large part to the project responsibilities assigned to interns.
Its truly a professional development experience for themits a rsum builder in more than just their job title, McCoy said. They do a lot of real, project-based work for many different departments here, and they get exposure to a lot of different experiences.
