  • Develop analytical and problem-solving skills through inventory tracking, operational reporting, data analysis, and identifying opportunities to improve logistics performance. 
  • Build leadership and operational skills by working alongside logistics supervisors and distribution leaders to understand how they manage teams, coordinate activities, and address daily challenges. 
  • Make a meaningful impact by participating in a logistics or distribution improvement project, developing practical solutions, and presenting recommendations to leadership. 
  • Understand what drives success by learning how inventory accuracy, transportation efficiency, product quality, customer service, and teamwork contribute to overall business performance. 
  • Grow professionally through ongoing coaching, feedback, and opportunities to build relationships with experienced logistics and operations professionals. 
  • Experience real-world distribution operations through assignments that may involve varying shifts, refrigerated environments, extended periods of standing or walking, and other physically active tasks.

Qualifications: 

  • Currently enrolled full-time in college during the semester preceding the internship.
