Summer Update

My name is Lora Kyle. I have the amazing opportunity of managing Driscoll’s Campus Programs, which includes University Partnerships and the Internship Program. In my second year in this role, I have successfully built relationships with university professors and staff to recruit college students nationally. During the summer, I offer a variety of professional learning experiences and networking events, which creates a well rounded experience for all of our interns.

 

The Internship Program has grown in size as well as scope. This year we have a record breaking 40 spring and summer interns from 14 universities and colleges. This is a 26% growth compared to 2012 and the program has more than doubled since 2011. In 2011, all internships were in Watsonville, today 20% of all internships are outside of Watsonville, including areas of California; Bakersfield, Santa Maria, and Camarillo, and outside of California; Hendersonville, North Carolina and Olathe, Kansas.  In addition, as our university partnerships have strengthened so has our intern candidate pool. This year’s interns comprised of 47% female and 45% are from diverse backgrounds.

The purpose of our Campus Programs is to create a direct pipeline of talent for Driscoll’s. In 2012, we accomplished this by hiring 43% of all graduated interns as regular full time hires.

All spring and summer internships have been filled! Please check back for 2014 opportunities.

Driscoll's Internship Program has hired all Spring and Summer interns!
