Happy Intern Day! In the course of the past two months, it has been fun and interesting to work with and get to know some of our interns. For many (maybe all?) this is their first fully in-person job experience. When I contrast our intern program this summer with my son's internship with Coke during the pandemic, it's like night and day. Both positive experiences, but very different. I know there is still a lot of discussion around #returntooffice and in our business that discussion usually focuses a lot on investment in office buildings. I wonder the long-term impact on young careers of in-person vs. work from anywhere vs. hybrid internships and early work experience.

As the COO of McKinley Rice, I've had the privilege of witnessing the journey of many talented interns who aspire to kickstart their careers. While their enthusiasm is commendable, it's disheartening to see a recurring pattern of unpreparedness among some of them. I often come across unprepared aspirants, who write appealing emails, but their efforts of standing on those big, written words often withdraw as soon as they land the role.  What's the deal, you ask? Well, here's what I've observed: 🔹 Punctuality? Often a struggle. 🔹 Right tools/devices? Not always on hand. 🔹 Leaving early? More common than you'd think. 🔹 Leaves aplenty? Sometimes, it feels like a forest! But here's the real question: Why? Is it a lack of seriousness when it comes to learning or something deeper that calls their ethics into question? #Internships are an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and pave the way for a successful career. Yet, it's vital for interns to approach them with dedication, respect for the workplace, and a commitment to honing their skills. Let's remember, that internships are a two-way street. Companies invest time and resources in nurturing future talent, and interns benefit by gaining invaluable experience. It's a win-win when both parties are fully committed! #internship2023 #ethics #internshipexperience #interns #graduatecareers #worklifebalance #morals #cultureofcare #learningandgrowing

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
