INTERN INSPIRATION
Byrne has always been about championing powerful connections across the community and nowhere is that more evident than in their Annual Internship Program. Each year, the Byrne team welcomes young people to participate, helping provide extensive experience in molding, manufacturing, marketing, human resources, engineering, sales, hospitality, events and finance. Our internships may not take place in a classroom, but it’s a valuable education these students could only find in a real-world business setting. Dan Byrne, Byrne’s CEO, says he remembers the program actually originating back in the late-1990’s with Susan Mead, a 25-year retired veteran of Byrne, with a teaching degree. A longtime teacher prior to her years at Byrne, Susan was passionate about educating young people and encouraged some of her school colleagues to recommend students who could come in and spend time at Byrne. Susan pioneered this ad hoc initiative and grew it into a more official undertaking over the next decade. Since then, the Byrne team has recruited through colleges, employment websites, and social media. Byrne’s Annual Internship Program Creates Opportunities For The Next Generation to Make A Real Difference.
