Eileen Candels’ Post

Today, I had the opportunity of attending the Spring 2024 Internship Fair hosted by New York University. The event was impeccably organized, providing a seamless platform for students like myself to dive into the professional world. Among the sea of companies seeking to bolster their teams with summer interns, one name captured my attention and curiosity: UVeye. This company is not just another tech firm; it's a beacon of innovation in the automotive industry. UVeye specializes in automatic vehicle inspection services, leveraging a potent combination of computer vision and machine learning to redefine the standards of vehicle diagnostics. Their technology is a marvel in itself, capable of scrutinizing vehicles for any exterior, performance, structural, mechanical, and tire defects within mere seconds. What makes UVeye's offering remarkable is its versatility—their systems cater to new and used vehicles alike, whether at dealerships, auctions, or within large fleet operations, and they do so with an efficiency that's as impressive as it is necessary in today's fast-paced world. Interacting with the UVeye team, I was struck by their passion and the transformative potential of their work. Their application of Computer Vision and AI isn't just a testament to technological progress; it's a glimpse into a future where safety and efficiency drive the automotive industry forward. As I reflect on my experience at the NYU Internship Fair, I am filled with excitement about the opportunities that lie ahead. #nyu #careerfair #nyc #innovation #technology #automotiveindustry #computervision #machinelearning #careeropportunities

That's a wrap! Just finished up today's webinar with Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) and here are some of the top questions we got about how to create a successful internship program: 1. What are some of the ways your internship programs have evolved over time? At Westminster Tool for years we never had a formal program and instead searched for interns for specific projects with applicants of a specific skillset. But we found that we weren't building long-lasting, meaningful relationships from these opportunities. Today, we've changed our approach to focus on how WE can add value to the intern. We search for applicants from all different educational and skill backgrounds and focus on creating goals around their needs. As a result, we have a better chance of inspiring the next generation of manufacturers in our state, and the interns we work with are more likely to want to stay. 2. What are some lessons learned? What are some of the biggest mistakes you've made with interns? The biggest lesson learned is to stop siloing interns in a closed-off area of the business. Even when hiring an intern for super specific project or technical area, it's absolutely critical to expose them to other areas of the business and the rest of your team. Internships are all about professional exploration, not just about completing a project and adding value to the company. So it's important to give that intern a real opportunity to meet new people and explore other career paths. 3. What can small businesses do to get started with building an internship program for the first time? Take advantage of state resources! CT is home to so many different resources for finding applicants and funding programs. Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT)'s Internship Program not only gives you access to a whole database of regional applicants looking for manufacturing internships, but also offers wage reimbursement support to help offset those costs.

As I reach the halfway point in my internship, I want to share two things that I think are vital to supply chain: visibility and communication. This video is a short overview of these topics and their impact. #waltonsupplychain #supplychain #walton #thisishowweintern Brian Fugate J.B.

Corporate Headquarters as a Market Delivery Intern This is what Carlton had to say about being in STS Enterprise Corporation “I definitely believe every student who wants to succeed and be the best professional possible should join STS. Not only does STS give you the skills you need to be professional, but you will meet coaches that will have your back and treat you like family.” What does it mean to land an Internship with a company like Lowe’s? “Landing this internship means that I can be successful in whatever I put my mind too. It is showing me that even though it may be hard trying something new, you definitely should push for new experiences and push yourself to be the best you can” How has being in STS Elite helped you personally? “STS helped me on my journey by pushing and believing in me. When I first started STS I was very quiet and to myself. They helped me open up and it worked out for the better. The coaches were persistent in seeing me succeed and giving me different tips, tools & advice to be the professional I desire to be. STS is really a family and they want everyone to get the bag and make excellence the norm.” Share some encouraging words in the comments for Carlton as he works to make himself, his family, and Memphis Proud #MemphisBestKeptSecret #WeDoThis #MakingExcellenceTheNorm ##TeamSTS #CareerExploration #CareerReadiness #MemphisYouth
