Internship Opportunities lead UM Students to Prominent Jobs

Kara Trummel used to sit in a classroom in the School of Business Administration at The University of Montana and learn about situations in a business setting. Maybe on one day she would learn about business ethics and another she might learn about how to market her business so it’s profitable. Sure, this is information that can be applied to the real-world but did it teach her something she will take with her forever?

"In the classroom you have a case of what if’s," Trummel said. "In the real world you get to apply them." As an intern at Kennecott Energy in Gilette, Wyo. Trummel worked in the company’s corporate office. Specifically she worked in human resources developing an affirmative action plan to help the company develop better diversity among its employees. Trummel then used this internship to help her put her foot in the door interning for Deloitte, one of the "big four" accounting firms, located in Seattle, Wash.
