ACS Field Operations Support/ Innovation Co-op

May - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I completed my 3rd rotation with Delta Air Lines, Inc, this summer, and I enjoyed taking part in high priority projects that I knew executive leaders would see, in regards to Field Operations Support. The company gives their Co-ops so much exposure from traveling the world, learning how to team work with other departments, and being allowed sitting in meetings with executive leaders. It's a real family like atmosphere. I've gain so many strong skills that will benefit me in my future career.

What I wish was different

There isn't anything I would technically change about my experience or would want to be different. In the future I would love to see more students from my university co-op with Delta Air Lines, Inc.

Advice

The one piece of advice I would share about my experience is to not be overwhelmed by the other talented Co-ops that you will work with. Everybody is a team and if there is a software or content you are not skillful in don't be afraid to ask for help/ guidance. Take advantage of your resources and always network (coffee chats) around the company.

Line Maintenance

May - August 2018 • Orlando, FL

What I liked

I achieved a better understanding of how I can apply my area of study in the world outside of the schools walls, as well as what it is like working as an airline employee. Real world experience.

What I wish was different

Advice

Apply for the internship! This is a major learning opportunity for those who are willing to take it. Possibly the best internship for an Aviation Maintenance Science student.
