07 Jun Welcome to Our 2023 Summer Interns!
On Monday, June 5, we welcomed our 2023 cohort of eight interns to Criterion Systems. For the next eight weeks, they will be supporting our customer teams on-site and remotely as well as working in our corporate support departments (BD/proposals, IT, and recruiting). From rising freshmen to rising seniors, this is a talented group of individuals, and we are very happy to have them with us!
During our orientation meeting, we emphasized the importance of collaboration and asking questions. While each intern will work with a different manager on a variety of projects, they’ll all participate in a weekly stand-up meeting hosted by our Chief Technology Officer, Anthony Monas, to talk about what they are working on and discuss their challenges and successes. In the last few weeks of the program, the interns will work together on a group project, always a highlight of the program!
Rishi stated, “I joined Criterion this summer to gain real-world experience and advance my knowledge in my field of interest: computer science. I look forward to working on a meaningful project that aligns perfectly with my passion for innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration. I hope to achieve significant personal and professional growth by enhancing my technical, teamwork, and communication skills and by immersing myself in a challenging and dynamic work environment.”
Jay added, “I think this internship is great way to learn how to work in a corporate environment. By the end of the summer, I hope to achieve proper office skills which will help me in the future.”
Criterion’s annual summer internship program is one of the three pillars of Criterion University, a centralized resource and professional development benefit for all of our employees. It also encompasses our training program and mentoring program.
