Cargill

“I enjoyed the work environment, as well as the coworkers. We had weekly safety meetings to ensure that we were doing what we could to ensure the safety of our employees. I also enjoyed the projects that I was involved in. One of these projects was to make a system to help reduce the dust that is sometimes formed from the waste conveyor belt. Cargill takes great care in ensuring that their co-ops and interns are treated well and truly believe that we are the future of their company. They make sure that everyone feels welcome and help you to become a more rounded employee and individual.”

“As an ongoing Engineer Co-op at Cargill, I am in an environment which allows for the facilitation of my learning and growth, with the help of an exceptional team of supervisors and engineers. In my daily role, I facilitate the IDEX meetings, oversee operations on the packaging lines, and develop instructional materials and spreadsheets to enhance the productivity of the packaging unit. During my first 2 months at Cargill, I enjoyed the company in which I work, I feel very comfortable in my position, and I appreciate the effort my team makes to ensure my voice is heard, despite my age and inexperience. I enjoy being hands on the packaging lines, learning the way in the lines process, additionally, I thoroughly appreciate the opportunity to form relationships with the operators, as it allows me to hear and learn different perspectives, as opposed to the engineers. My experience thus far in my co-op has been incredibly rewarding. I've gained valuable insight into the engineering world, developed new skills in communication and problem solving and had the opportunity to work with a talented team. ”
