More about UW-Madison and Plexus Partnership to Offer Internships
Wisconsin in the World recently sat down with previous Plexus intern, Dan Lawler. Read his interview here.
And last year, the Division of International Studies featured Jeff Schacherl, a past intern at Plexus’ Penang, Malaysia Design Center. As an undergraduate UW–Madison, Schacherl initially focused on his chosen field of mechanical engineering. Then a one-month study abroad trip to Nancy, France, stirred Schacherl’s interest in international experiences. That led to an internship at Plexus’ Penang, Malaysia Design Center – and ultimately a career for the 2009 graduate at the company’s Design Center located in Neenah, Wisconsin.
“An internship is really like a three- to six-month job interview,” says Schacherl. “I was able to get to know Plexus and understand the company culture, and they got to know me.”
Through internships, like Schacherl’s experience with Plexus, Wisconsin companies and the UW-Madison’s Division of International Studies can join forces to cultivate the global talent that so many companies need today. Read the rest of Jeff’s story.
