I get a chance to experience what it is like to work at a global Fortune 500 company. For instance, the company has advanced online platforms for clock-in, certificates and approval, as well as internal communication network tools.
Advice for students considering internships:

What this internship has taught me:
I now know some of the skills that may be helpful in my future career but that are not necessary for me to learn to attain a degree, such as accounting and economics. I may take some of these courses for fun.
