Ohio State students gaining real-world experience, jobs through internships

Students at Ohio State University are getting real-world experience through internships at companies across the country. EHE's partnership with NetJets Inc. - the largest private aviation company in the world - will allow students to receive mentorship through paid internships. Anne Turpin, clinical associate professor, hospitality management, explained that this collaboration has opened up a new track for hospitality management. She stated that many segments of the hospitality industry are seeing a higher demand than 2019 and she is confident that they will continue to do so. Our goal is to increase student enrollment and improve the student experience.

This translates to a strong pipeline of talent for companies such as NetJets. Expanding traditional hospitality pathways beyond food and drink expands student opportunities and long-term industry retention. The NetJets partnership also includes an endowed scholarship for EHE hotel management students. Cameron Mitchell Restaurants will match NetJets' gift as part of a fund that was established last January to augment gifts up to $100,000 for undergraduate hospitality management students.

Internships for students and work opportunities for students are key components of the program. This allows students to make more money, learn job skills, and prepare for a career in hospitality management. He said that he didn't know that aviation and events (with catered meals), could be combined. How students find internships.Ohio State students can find internships using a variety of means. These include partnerships such as the EHE's NetJets collaboration or attending professional networking events. Katarina Lechman, an information system major, stated that she was able to land two summers of internships at Eaton's Cleveland headquarters. She was responsible for the implementation of Salesforce's customer relationship management software. She said that she was able to identify the various business processes needed to be followed. I was able to communicate how to use these softwares to different users.

To make sure that everyone is getting trained and supporting business goals, I would need to understand the needs of each user and create training materials. How students can stand out among applicants for internships Internships can be very competitive, especially at highly regarded organizations. Kristen Orton said that prospective interns need to prepare for interviews by researching the company and understanding how they can contribute to organizational goals. Orton, a marketing major with a minor in fashion and retail studies, said that she researched Ross Retail Chain, which led to her securing a summer internship as assistant buyer at the company in New York City. Orton said, "Researching the company is really important." She expects to graduate this spring.

It's a great way to show your interviewer that your research was done. They know that you took the time to do your research and are interested in learning more about the company. I think they appreciate this. The university connects students with these opportunities. Buckeye Careers is part of the Office of Student Life and supports students in their professional development. It hosts virtual workshops, career fairs and workshops that help students create a resume, job search strategies, and connects them to the university's alumni networks. She said that her team consisted of three people. This was very helpful because she was able to get a lot more personal and practical experience and was able understand their daily work. Sam Duckworth stated that he's applying the knowledge he's gained as a third year biomedical engineering major, while also spending fall and spring semesters at Brigham Research Institute's Brigham and Women's Hospital. He said, "What I think I really benefited from here was learning the research process, starting off with an idea, then transferring it into a project with steps and then creating those experiments and following up with results."
.

"And then, once you have those results, you can figure out what this really means. What does this mean for what I have learned? "Violet Tosler," a third year communications major, stated that she developed her communication skills last summer as a Boka Restaurant Group marketing and social media intern. She coordinated photo shoots at restaurants, and created content for the company’s social media accounts. "Every week, I had to plan the content calendar using the resources available to me. Then, I would send it to my head media manager for approval. Then I would send it to the restaurants and they would approve it.
.

"That's a lot to take on, so it's a great opportunity for a lot more experience. While interns can take Tosler, Duckworth, and Orton to larger metropolises in the United States, Ben Snyder's last-year internship with Cargill Transportation and Logistics took him to Wichita Kansas, a small city of just over 400,000 people. Snyder, a logistics management major, graduated this spring. He said that Wichita is small but has gained valuable international experience through his internship with Cargill Transportation and Logistics. It is planned that it will be open to all employees of Cargill. Internships lead directly to job offers

Ross was her intern before she finished her internship. She said that she and other interns from her department had to complete a final project. This summed up their experience. I enjoyed that project because it allowed us to gather all the data and knowledge and then give a final report and close out the summer. Snyder and Lechman both said that they have been hired by the companies where they interned. Students said that their internships helped them develop on-the-job skills to complement the Ohio State knowledge. Snyder stated that every day you will learn something new. This is something you can apply to your career and future opportunities in whatever field you choose.
