If we asked you to picture a summer spent interning at a company that makes some of the world’s most technical science and biotechnology products, what would you imagine? Sitting in a cold basement testing knobs on Bunsen burners and microscopes all day? Pushing around lab carts instead of papers? Working with lab rats?
At Thermo Fisher, it’s none of the above. In fact, it’s virtually the opposite. The company is currently accepting applications for its annual class of summer interns, and it’s on a mission to make science more fun than Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye could do combined.
A few quick details about the company: Thermo Fisher is one of the world’s leading science and biotechnology product development companies. Its mission is to enable customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. The team at Thermo Fisher achieves this with advanced science equipment that can do everything from scan the human genome to make sure your milk is bacteria free.
Now that we’ve covered the basics, what makes Thermo Fisher’s internship program so great?
For example, each year the company hosts networking events such as an awesome scavenger hunt, designed to foster teamwork and create a unique challenge for interns.
Thermo Fisher is dedicated to ensuring that interns won’t just be stuck at their desks all day or going on coffee runs. The company provides a ton of different activities across its campuses, and gives interns the opportunity to get exposure to different parts of the business to see what’s right for them.
Finally, the company invests in you! Many of the life skills that are important for everyone’s career, regardless of what they’re doing, can only come from getting real world experience. Thermo Fisher makes sure that across its business, interns are given the chance to get that invaluable experience.
And even if you’re not planning on a career in science, Thermo Fisher can still be the right place for you. With over 55,000 employees and offices all over the world, the company has leadership track positions available for many different focuses, from sales to accounting to administration to HR.
