Preparing for a career in the paper industry: The value of a student intern experience

Many engineering students attend their classes and complete their school work for the week, but have little time to ponder their futures. With the help of internships, many students finally have time to realize that there is a much larger goal in their lives beyond just graduating. An internship benefits a student in ways that are not available in a classroom; with interactions among employees and a tremendous amount of experience in the real world career. The North American Pulp & Paper Industry has evolved the internship process into a vast and enlightening learning experience that is preparing future generations of industry engineers that will be vital for continued growth of this phenomenal industry.
