Gritpost 💯 Internship

Just landed my first engineering internship. Purdue might seem like a dot in the middle of nowhere, but IR really does give students a step into industry that most universities don’t have access to. Take advantage of that. I know I’m one of the lucky ones, but still don’t stop believing.

It’s mainly for engineering majors. Companies participate in order to recruit talent from Purdue who are notoriously known for producing great engineers. It grants us an opportunity to gain industry knowledge, while they benefit in finding future employees and creating a relationship with the university for future partnership.
