Through a combination of on-the-job learning and growth opportunities, Trumid interns support both their immediate teams and the organization at large. Leading our HR function allows me to focus on both long-term team development and ensuring that we build and nurture a pipeline of skilled and motivated young professionals, also bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.
What makes this program stand out?
Trumid’s nine-week summer internship program offers rising juniors invaluable work experience, whether in-person or remote. We’ve designed a comprehensive and well-rounded program, equipping interns with practical skills and exposure across the business. We also offer additional support through ongoing mentorship and opportunities for professional development (including lunch and learns and roundtable discussions, hosted both internally and externally). This enhances the Trumid internship experience and contributes to the long-term success of participants as they embark on their careers.
Our program has led to several summer interns successfully returning to full-time positions after graduation. This continuity speaks to the value we place on growing talent from within and providing lasting and engaging opportunities beyond the program.
