Intern for a Day

February 22, 2008

 

Intern for a day is a job shadowing program put on by PAID as another way to link students to industry.  This is a perfect opportunity for students to see what an employer’s daily actives would consist of and to meet executives within the company.  There are many companies participating this year from a variety of industries. The majority of companies are request students to visit locations in the Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. The day usually lasts from 10am – 3pm. We will arrange a carpool within the groups, and the driver will be reimbursed for mileage by the sponsoring company.

Due to company specifications we are having students sign up for their top three choices. There are only 35 spots available and over 407 students in PAID. So don’t miss your chance to be apart of this great recruiting opportunity. We will contact participants with further information no later than Tuesday, February 19, 2007. Sign-ups will continue until Tuesday at 5:00 PM.

Thanks!

Our customers include utilities, refineries, municipalities, energy companies and heavy industry. While the process managed by our equipment may vary - electricity, water, wastewater, traffic, commuter trains or natural gas - our approach does not. Our focus is on engineered solutions that are safe, secure, and clean. And reliable.

Now, as ever, Powell understands the significance of our work and of the responsibilities that lie ahead.
