Internships are a great opportunity for students to learn and grow as they expand their skills and prepare for their future careers.
In this episode of The Intersection Podcast, host and Full-time MBA student Analisa Wade talks with three fellow MBA students—Janice Jean, Trenton Gantt, and Korin Carney—about their summer internship at Dropbox, Nike, and The Coca-Cola Company.
Trenton discusses his role as a supply chain and operations intern at Nike and how hands-on experience in supply chain logistics helped him apply what he learned in class to real projects. He emphasizes the value of understanding data analytics and operational trends. Korin reflects on the challenges and opportunities of a fast-paced environment interning at The Coca-Cola Company on its international Hydration, Sports, and Coffee and Tea team. She highlights the importance of networking within the company and the industry and offers tips on building strong professional relationships.
Janice’s remote MBA supply chain internship at Dropbox presents a different perspective. She covers the pros and cons of working remotely, including staying connected with her team and maintaining productivity. Her experience highlights the importance of communication and self-discipline in a virtual setting.
Tune in as they go deep, sharing their personal growth and offering practical advice for making the most of an internship, including setting clear goals, seeking feedback, engaging with company culture, and navigating challenges.
