Gain applicable career experience in a growing organization and immerse yourself in the culture here at NFI. Throughout the internship, you will gain valuable, hands-on experience in either our distribution or transportation business, work on challenging projects, and network with leaders in their respective fields.
Each day you experience will be defined by your team, your site, and YOU - no two days will look the same. You will have the opportunity to drive results through a variety of tasks and projects with support and guidance from your team.
Our paid Internship roles open the door for future full-time employment opportunities.
While day-to-day activities will be individualized to the site, there are scheduled professional development activities for our interns to:
- Hear from business leaders
- Engage in self-development activities
- Network with peers
After the internship, you will present a reflection on your internship sharing your accomplishments, key learnings about the business, and how you have developed through the experience as an emerging leader. Post Internship: We’ve Got Big Plans For You.
