Today is #NationalInternDay! Interns are an integral part of teams across the region. Not only do interns provide fresh ideas, they are also a pipeline for West Michigan's workforce. Celebrate an intern in the comment section. #InternshipSuccess #InternshipExperience #FutureWorkforce #TeamIntern #wminternconnect

How can the so-called Black Caucus watch little children of color being slaughtered and remain silent? I know that you take Israel's AIPAC money, so you are just like Judas going against Jesus taking his pieces of silver. If Biden wanted to pass a bill to put us back into slavery, would you vote for it? What Happened to America? We have a President who is assisting Israel in killing innocent children. A Democratic Party that ignores the evil in our White House, while the Republican Party is too afraid to Impeach Biden due to their weakness. What kind of country has America become? It is no longer a country of Peace, let alone Democracy or Justice. It has become a Totalitarian country filled with hate and the lust for world destruction. Who would have ever thought that America who fought the Nazis who were massacring Jews, would today join Jews to massacre innocent Palestinian children? A country which once considered a Godly country now has become Satanic and Evil supporting Israel’s genocide. 

#TBT I definitely hit the intern lottery with Vidhi Kirti Bhanushali! She was such a great addition to the team and immediately jumped in and took ownership of her project. Managing an early career professional was a great stretch opportunity and I wanted to make sure I got just as much out of the experience as I hoped she did. Here are 5 things I did to make sure she (WE) had a successful Summer: 1. Made a plan. My goal was to make sure Vidhi got everything she needed and received an offer to return to Reynolds American Inc. once she graduated. With a truncated timeline and lofty goals, I treated her 10-week internship like a sprint and tracked her progress against predetermined milestones. I established weekly goals and we made adjustments if we encountered any delays. In full transparency, the project plan was more for me that her. I wanted to make sure all the bases were covered and that she had all the tools she needed for a successful project. 2. Provided regular updates to my own manager. He and I already have great communication so, this was easy. Our VP gave us a general idea of the topic and I had an idea of what I wanted the final deliverable to be. Together we worked to nail down the specifics and refine the plan. 3. Used this as an opportunity to deepen my understanding of the Business. To complete her project Vidhi had to build a cross functional coalition with some colleagues that I hadn't yet had the pleasure of working with directly. I made some introductions but Vidhi took the lead to build the relationships. Sometimes she even let me tag along to the meetings. :) 4. Carved out dedicated 1:1 time for us to touch base. Our business can be complicated and nuanced and I joined Reyolds from a totally different industry so I empathized with how overwhelming it can be to ascend the learning curve. But Vidhi was up for the challenge. I was impressed with how quickly she mastered our technical tools and understood the fundamentals of the Business. 5. Got out of the way. Vidhi is driven, intelligent, curious, diligent and thoughtful. She really did all the hard work and demonstrated a strong leadership capability and ability to get things done. Vidhi is technically savvy and innovative. She made my job easy as all I had to do was create the space for her to shine The result? Vidhi Kirti Bhanushali NAILED her final presentation. Although she was the last to present, she still received great feedback. (I reminded her that Beyonce always performs last, so she was in the best possible position :) Congratulations Vidhi, on a VERY successful Summer and best of luck on your final semester at North Carolina State University!

I know that many in my network have had the distinct pleasure of hosting a Project Onramp summer intern at their organization, for those that have not, this program aims to help undergraduates from low-income backgrounds gain experience and access to our industry. This program is a true win/win for companies/teams/hiring managers and interns. The QR code below will help you learn more but two key points to keep in mind: - Interns are not just for lab based/science positions, but are incredibly well-suited for placement in most departments in your org - If your company has 100 employees or fewer, up to two intern salaries will be reimbursed!

We had an amazing day today celebrating our interns! People make the difference at JAS…and that includes our interns! #interns #JAS #JASUSA #peoplemakethedifference #nationalinternday #freightforwarding #logistics #supplychain

It was field day for our summer interns! Here they had the opportunity to apply what they learned and performed an observation activity: variance study and DILO. The team had a blast and there is plenty of impactful learning to come! #Intern #Internship #OperationsManagement #Consultants

A place to learn and a place to build a career.

There is perhaps no more important mission in the gas markets than to expose young people to the nature and importance of energy security, natural gas' critical role in carbon emissions reduction, support for America's Allies around the globe for energy access, use of a native US resource to support a manufacturing renaissance here in the US...the list goes on. Thanks to Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline and Shawn Patterson for pursuing this mission. If young people, or anyone frankly, want to learn more about natural gas' critical role for a clean energy future, check out Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future
