Global Supply Chain Leadership Development Program Intern

May - August 2018 • Benton Harbor, MI

What I liked

Whirlpool provided a great summer internship program. I was able to grow both personally and professionally from experiences provided to me inside and outside of the office. From participating in different Lunch and Learns with various company leaders, to volunteer opportunities in the community, to 1-1 meetings with people in different business functions - Whirlpool truly provided their interns with the best experience possible.

Business Analyst

May - August 2018 • Benton Harbor, MI

What I liked

Whirlpool had a heavy emphasis on networking. They often held workshops to update your LinkedIn, how to write good emails, etc. It was also required for me to give several presentations throughout my internship. I think I developed my communication and presentation skills.

What I wish was different

There was zero structure to the program. I often felt like I was wasting my time there. Whirlpool recruited for students with computer science/information systems/computer systems background...but our skills were not utilized. It was all more or less clerical work.

Advice

Utilize the resources around you and get involved with volunteer experiences. They lend to a more meaningful internship.

Network as much as you can as an intern. You’re in a special position where you need no reason besides “interest” to talk to all walks of employees.
