In the US, Ready Pac Foods has announced plans to develop a strategic partnership with Arizona State University, in a bid to provide increased internship opportunities.
The group will extend its existing internship programme to students enrolled in the school, which will provide hands-on experience in the manufacturing, agribusiness, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Management and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. Students who participate can complete the internship during their graduating year.
Internship opportunities will range from supply chain management, finance, marketing and other areas of business as well as Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management.
The programme is in development and will take effect in 2016. Ready Pac Foods continues to offer summer internships to students and recent graduates from all colleges and universities to keep a consistent pipeline of talent entering the company’s workforce.
“As a graduate of Arizona State University, I know being a Sun Devil is a special privilege,” said Ready Pac Foods CEO Tony Sarsam, who earned a bachelor‘s degree in chemical engineering at the university. “Arizona State University does a great job preparing students for a successful career. Their many distinguished assets, from the Morrison School of Agriculture, their world-renowned supply chain management program, to the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering (CIDSE) will make the Fulton Schools of Engineering and W. P. Carey a terrific fit for Ready Pac Foods.'
