Attn: Students & Employers 💡 Why Engage in the MDOT TDRP Internship? Let’s take a moment to shine a light on a story that perfectly captures the spirit of the MDOT TDRP Internship—a story of ambition, discovery, and making the most of every opportunity. - Most people simply desire to be valued and respected (It’s not rocket science) Meet Davontray Robinson, a returning TDRP intern, a passionate, outspoken young leader and rising senior in Mechanical Engineering at Prairie View A&M University. This summer, Davontray embraced the role of Field Engineer with the City of Detroit. Fueled by his passion for automobiles, he viewed this position as more than just work; it was a unique chance to delve into transportation infrastructure, gaining insights that give him a competitive edge as he strives to become the best engineer he can be. In his journey with MDOT TDRP, Davontray Robinson has harnessed his skills, determination, and potential, aligning his ambitions with real-world, hands-on experiences. His path has been defined by confidence, consistency, and character—traits that make him a standout both professionally and personally. Davontray Robinson’s story is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when you approach every opportunity with an open mind and a clear mission. The Future is Now! “Build it, and they will come.”With a new mindset, a new map, and a new mission. “Tray” is a shining example of how transformational experiences are possible for those willing to step up to the challenge and ring the bell . “Find your way. Match your mindset. Be the change that expands your range “ 🫡 👷🏿 #MDOTTDRP #EngineeringExcellence #PrairieViewAMU #MechanicalEngineer #CityOfDetroit #Michigan #TheFutureIsNow #TransformationalLeadership #FutureLeaders #TransportationEngineering

Finding an internship is hard. I struggled to find my first internship while studying mechanical engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The reality is that most students actually do not find an internship - the most reliable data we can find reports that only 30% of college students have an internship on an annual basis. No matter your major, previous experience, or year in school, pre-internships & career accelerators can improve your chances at landing an internship. Our virtual programming at Internship on Demand is designed to upskill college students ahead of their next (or first) internship. Share with a college student and help them kickstart their career journey today. https://lnkd.in/gyeRgbnq

That's a wrap! Just finished up today's webinar with Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) and here are some of the top questions we got about how to create a successful internship program: 1. What are some of the ways your internship programs have evolved over time? At Westminster Tool for years we never had a formal program and instead searched for interns for specific projects with applicants of a specific skillset. But we found that we weren't building long-lasting, meaningful relationships from these opportunities. Today, we've changed our approach to focus on how WE can add value to the intern. We search for applicants from all different educational and skill backgrounds and focus on creating goals around their needs. As a result, we have a better chance of inspiring the next generation of manufacturers in our state, and the interns we work with are more likely to want to stay. 2. What are some lessons learned? What are some of the biggest mistakes you've made with interns? The biggest lesson learned is to stop siloing interns in a closed-off area of the business. Even when hiring an intern for super specific project or technical area, it's absolutely critical to expose them to other areas of the business and the rest of your team. Internships are all about professional exploration, not just about completing a project and adding value to the company. So it's important to give that intern a real opportunity to meet new people and explore other career paths. 3. What can small businesses do to get started with building an internship program for the first time? Take advantage of state resources! CT is home to so many different resources for finding applicants and funding programs. Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT)'s Internship Program not only gives you access to a whole database of regional applicants looking for manufacturing internships, but also offers wage reimbursement support to help offset those costs.

"I am thrilled to share that I have successfully completed the online summer Internship program (OSIP-2024) on IICHE titled ''INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT"

One of the many ironies in manufacturing is that for the most part, we know how to build technical skills in workforce. Holistic experiences, capstone projects, learning factories, hands-on with equipment lead the way. But SOFT SKILLS lag behind, some quite significantly. Why is this? And how do we solve it.? One thing we can do right away is expand INTERNSHIPS for students, so that experience first-hand how to act professionally. This is one topic discussed at the SMX Automotive Manufacturing conference this week! Want to discuss, give me a ring!

Completed, after 3 months of internship through the school program to learn about industry manufactur and my position as a Production Operator.

FBP is preparing for the future by preparing the next generation of the workforce. As part of the summer internship program our interns recently completed Lean Six Sigma White Belt training. #FBPInterns #FBPFutureDevelopment
