Additional Information
**Goal**

Our goal during an internship is to provide training and experience related to each student’s academic course of study and/or career goals. The following criteria defines a successful internship:

- The intern is engaged in productive and challenging work rather than merely observing
- The student contributes to our company, becomes a member of our team, and learns how his or her academic background can be applied in the workplace.

The amount of hours worked per week can vary based on the academic work load and needs of our business. Hours are flexible - with the assumption during summer/winter breaks more hours would be worked than during the school year. Expeditors requests a commitment to 15 hours of employment per week during the academic school year and 40 during the summer. These numbers would be coordinated on an individual basis.

***Working Condition**
- No more than physical effort or positional stress required. Intermittent walking, sitting or standing wi
