Competition for summer internships is tough. But that’s nothing compared to competition between interns.
Interns from six West Michigan companies faced off this week in the second annual West Michigan Intern Olympics. We developed the event last year with office furniture manufacturer Steelcase to foster some healthy competition and camaraderie between our summer interns.
More than 160 interns from six local companies competed in events like marshmallow dodgeball and a hula hoop race to have fun in the sun and do a little networking. Local FOX affiliate WXMI and The Grand Rapids Press were among the media covering the event.
This summer we’re hosting more than 90 interns in 20 divisions at our Ada, Mich., world headquarters. Interns also are on the job at our Nutrilite facility in California, at Amway de Mexico, and at Amway Hong Kong, among other locations.
It’s all part of grooming the next generation of talent at Amway. (Marshmallow dodging and hula hooping skills are optional.)
