I would imagine that everyone in the cargo bidness has ‘Internships’, as it is a good, cheap way for a company to get grunt work done -and recruit future management.
I had a room mate at the crash pad I owned in MEM for a couple years who had matriculated at ER in AZ. Ken came to FredEx for a few months between Jr & Sr year and worked behind the desk in Ops.
He impressed the managers during his stint -didn‘t mind the heat and humidity of the MEM summer; so he took the entry level job that was offered after he graduated. I guess he liked BBQ <g>
The last I saw him, he had been promoted several times and had moved to Ops in IND. The last I heard, he was in Sr. Management there. So, Internships are good for everyone concerned.
My daughters both had Internships their senior years (Villanova=COMCAST) & (USC=20 Century Fox) and were both offered positions upon graduation. The youngest took the job at Fox -and hated it .. the full time position was nothing like the stuff they had her doing as an Intern. But, all in all, a good experience for both.
