Winch and crane firm Thern says that when it is looking to expand, it looks to its Southern Minnesota community, bringing in local engineering students for hands-on internships that provide industry-based learning opportunities with the chance to contribute ideas of their own. “We strive to have good relationships with the colleges in town and with the students – it’s our way to support the community,” says Michelle Hermann, Thern’s HR Generalist. “The other side is that Thern likes to have new people come in and give us fresh perspectives.” Cameron Larson is studying biomedical engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, but she stayed with her grandparents in Winona this summer to attend her internship at Thern. Having found the opportunity through the
SciTech Internship Program, Larson was able to connect one-on-one with Thern’s hiring managers, and secured a position that would help her explore alternative industries in engineering.
