ITW Medical’s Post

Our ITW Drawform Intern Spotlight campaign is where we shine light on our Interns and their experiences throughout ITW Drawform! This week we introduce to you our Human Resources Intern, Samuel Ver Steeg. Throughout the summer you will get a glimpse into his skills and projects to support our division. Please join us in welcoming Sam to our team! 1. Can you start by telling me a little bit about your educational background and interests and what inspired you to pursue the career / education you have today? I went to Grand Rapids Christian High School. I am currently a Junior at Hope College in Holland, MI where I study Psychology and Leadership. I will be graduating May 2025. My mom and dad both inspired me to pursue a career and an education path that involves helping people. My Dad is a clinical psychologist and mom is a business leader. 2. What attracted you to the HR internship at ITW and what were some things that were most exciting to you that made you apply? I seek the opportunity to work for a mid-sized company that provides an ideal balance—large enough to offer comprehensive exposure to manufacturing, production, and operations, yet small enough to facilitate meaningful learning and professional growth. Additionally, I am eager to deepen my understanding of human resources, gaining insights into our functions and purposes within the organizational structure. 3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years in your career? In 5 years, I see myself working as both an industrial-organizational Psychologist along with mental health therapy. 4. What would you say is your greatest non-work accomplishment? Being apart of the Hope College Men's Basketball team, achieving back-to-back MIAA Championships. 5. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I love Michigan summers on the lake, spending time with family and friends, and talking college and pro sports. #ITW #HR #igniteyourfullpotential #Drawform

My greatest non-work accomplishment is graduating high school and becoming a first-generation college student. Navigating my way through college has been quite the experience and to say that I’ll be graduating spring of 2025 is rewarding! 5. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to the gym, swimming at the beach or a pool, skiing in the winter, playing pickleball with friends and I enjoy relaxing.     #ITW #igniteyourfullpotential #ITWDrawform #intern #HumanResources

When I was 17, I landed an internship at the VA Hospital. My supervisor was a petite Black elderly woman standing at about 5 feet with a hunchback and a slightly askew wig. I’ll never, ever forget her. On the first day, she whisked me away from my desk to the hospital's basement to give me a tour, introducing me to everyone we met along the way. "These are the maintenance people; if there's an issue with heating, this is where you go," she explained. She meticulously outlined how everything worked, from the intricacies of the facility's mechanics to the difference between LPNs (licensed practical nurses) and RNs (registered nurses). We went up to the executive suites, the various wings like the mental health, orthopedic, surgical, all. She whispered where I should “tread lightly.” She gave me the full scoop on how the organization really worked. I didn’t know it then, but I was aware of a system and the many processes that made up the chain of service. I could pitch in almost anywhere because I understood both the big picture and the various pieces that made it up. She helped me succeed; within 3 months of starting,  I got a promotion! I am still grateful for Ms. Marion T. Noble. That's what an internship should be -- not just making copies, filing, or picking up coffee. Where is the opportunity for growth, for falling in love with how things work? Internships shape our youth, which means they shape our future. That's why I love internXL, a program of Fund II Foundation. It's an innovative internship platform for the modern workforce. It enables many of our friends and family to enter spaces (virtual and brick) where problems are explored and solved—where air tables materialize in products and processes. We prepare them through a learning academy so they are confident they can contribute and eager to bring value. ➡️ Are you involved with hiring at your company? ➡️ Are you ready to shorten your hiring cycle? ➡️ Are you ready to engage the best and brightest talent using a wider net? If so, you need to know about internXL. Follow our LinkedIn page! #Internship #Hiring #TalentDevelopment #BIPOC #Diversity #Inclusion

There are so many great internship opportunities available. If I had to go back to my time as an undergraduate student, I wish I would have utilized my resources more! I wish I would have asked more questions and pushed myself to seek out more internships opportunities. For me, I worked 3 jobs while in school and didn’t see how an internship would help my “now”. But as someone that is almost 7 years removed from undergrad, those internship skills would have been super helpful when seeking post-undergrad work and would have been useful in pay negotiations. #internshipopportunity #apply #pushforward
