NANA
2019 Interns
It's Intern Season
This summer, NANA and its companies hired 24 shareholder interns.
NANA’s goal is to become a shareholder-managed corporation.
To continue this business philosophy, special programs
are in place to help shareholders enhance their job skills,
knowledge and abilities. NANA internship programs offer
shareholders the opportunity to gain marketable experience
that can later be used to grow our companies.
Internships provide a bridge from the classroom to the working
world, varying in length and the number of hours worked.
There are many benefits that come from participation in an
internship program. Interns gain valuable experience in a
specific industry by learning on-the-job. They receive supervised
training, learn new job skills, and are able to network to
gain contacts—and, in most cases, are paid for learning.
The interns are NANA shareholders who are currently
enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program
or enrolled in a relevant vocational program.
If you have questions about the internship opportunities,
please contact Annette Zella at [email protected]
or 907.265.4362 or toll-free at 800.478.2000.
