Benefits of Hiring a UW Oshkosh Intern
- Interns can bring fresh, new ideas to your organization.
- Have them tackle projects that have been in the back of your mind.
- It's a great way to recruit prospective full-time employees.
"Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers students an active learning experience through projects that provide tangible benefit to the organization. While it takes time and effort to bring an intern on board, the benefits outweigh the investment. When given challenging assignments, our interns have achieved excellent results. They also share fresh ways of thinking about the ways we serve our members, their families, and their communities."
— Suzanne Maas, Director of Claims Operations, Thrivent Financial
"As a former HR Intern and now the Human Resources Consultant at SECURA Insurance, I have seen the benefits of both sides. I enjoy having interns because I know that what they are learning here will benefit them a great deal when they graduate. Out interns have essentially the same responsibilities as someone in a professional position. They offer so many great ideas and can look at things with a different perspective. This is definitely a great learning experience for both of us."
— Sam Benjamin, Human Resources Consultant, SECURA Insurance
