PODCAST: Caterpillar Interns Making an Impact
August 17, 2022
Modern internships aren’t how they are often portrayed in the movies and televsion. Grunt work. Fetching coffee. Working for free at all hours. You might say it’s not your parents’ internship experience! Caterpillar offers a robust, rewarding and dynamic internship program – introducing hundreds of college students to the “real world” of meaningful work, collaboration, problem-solving and much more. In this special Beyond The Iron podcast, host Rusty Dunn sits down with three first-time Caterpillar interns to hear their experiences and unique stories about what it’s like moving from the classroom to corporate life.
