Organization: CPCCo Fuels Facilities Engineering University: Washington State University Tri-Cities Degree Program: Bachelors in Electrical Engineering How did you hear about our co-op internship and why did you decide to apply? I first got hired at a summer intern and I heard about that from school then later got moved to a co-op position. I decided to apply because it related to my major and I feel internships are a good way to gain connections in the industry and get work experience. How has your internship shared your educational and career goals? My internship directly relates to my major so I’m able to see what a career in this field looks like before I’m done with school. What advice do you have for students who are interested in interning with us? Your intern experience is what you make it.
