It was a great experience to learn outside of what you learn in school. It gave me real world experience.

Aftermarket Purchasing Intern
January 2018 - August 2019 • Oshkosh, WI
What I liked
Oshkosh Defense is a great company to work for. They give you meaningful work and allow you to become a part of the team. I think my favorite part about the experience is that the work was challenging and I was able to help make improvements to the processes they had. Also, they had summer intern events and development workshops throughout the year. These were always fun and helped you network and grow professionally.

Advice
My advice to any student looking for or starting an internship would be to put yourself out there. Sign up for and try as many things that you can. This is a time for you to learn what you like and don't like, so when you graduate you know what you are looking for. Every opportunity you get involved with is a learning and networking opportunity.

Financial Compliance Intern
June 2021 • Oshkosh, WI
What I liked
Really enjoy the company culture and the organization as a whole. Good products made for good people. All of the employees that I've met at my time at the company have been kind and have helped me grow professionally.
What I wish was different
I wish that COVID wasn't as much of a factor. A ton of team members work from home due to the pandemic, and I wish that this sometimes weren't the case.
Advice
Always ask questions and strive to learn something new each day. If you're ever unsure, just ASK. Everyone at the company wants to see you succeed. They are always there to help.
