Dillon's Experience
Dillon, a New Product Development Intern, describes his experience: "This internship I worked with the New Product Development team under Product Engineering and had the opportunity to work on valued projects. Two of my biggest projects were working on one-gallon benchmarking and creating a database of 3D printing vendors. The different tasks that made up these projects helped me learn more about how Niagara works as a business, how to collaborate with different teams and more about my skills. I really like the work culture here, everyone was so willing to guide and help me, and it was nice to get constructive feedback on both technical and soft skills."
Dillon's testimonial highlights the practical experience and supportive culture that Niagara internships offer. He gained insights into the business, improved his collaboration skills, and received valuable feedback.
