My supervisor was fantastic, extremely approachable, and excited to teach me about Internal Corporate Communications. As a whole, Carpenter Technology was a very positive work environment with a strong internship program and endless opportunities to learn. It is clear that everyone cares about the safety and well-being of each other, and not only during work hours. As an intern, I was tasked with leading multiple projects. Knowing that my work mattered and had an effect on the company made me feel more confident in myself as a professional .
What I wish was different
My internship was remote, so I think working in-person would have made making connections with other interns and departments easier.
Advice
Communicate! Your supervisors want you to have a good experience and get the most out of what they can teach you. Similarly, they have a lot to teach you, so be open and willing to learn.
