A program that creates opportunities for students and recent graduates to directly apply their education in a practical work setting, CIRI’s summer internship program allows shareholders and descendants to gain insight into CIRI’s culture and businesses.

“2017 represents the third year of CIRI’s significantly-expanded summer internship program,” said CIRI President and CEO Sophie Minich. “These young people represent the next generation of business leaders. We are tremendously proud of all they accomplished in their 12 short weeks with the company.”

On Aug. 16, three of the interns – KC Chickalusion, CIRI Business Development/Shareholder Programs; Drew Johnson, CIRI Corporate Communications; and Autumn Olson, CIRI Human Resources – presented to CIRI employees.

“Hearing what our interns had learned over the summer, the projects they worked on and their plans for the future was a great way to wrap up this year’s program,” Minich said. “If these young people represent the future of CIRI, we are in good hands.”
