Catch up with some of our successful former interns!
District Manager, ThompsonGas
Former Management Intern
“What made my experience so unique was that I got a taste of a lot of different positions because the Duluth office is so diverse. What stood out to me the most was that everyone believed in what I could accomplish and encouraged me, even though I was and still am so green to the industry and company.
I believe the most impactful thing was presenting my project at the end of the internship. I was able to prove to myself the amount of things I had actually learned. It also pushed me out of comfort zone when I presented to a large group of people consisting of my peers, upper management, and the executive team. I think the biggest skill I learned through my internship was how to be adaptable. This industry changes on a dime and in order to keep up and be successful you have to be able to think on your toes and figure out fast, effective solutions.”
Business Intelligence Analyst, ThompsonGas
Former IT Intern
“The propane industry is not one that immediately springs to mind when looking for a tech internship, but I have come to realize how important IT and development can be in any field.
The most valuable thing I learned in the internship was the importance of working outside your department. Understanding how other departments operate and how my work impacted them has allowed me to make more of an impact company-wide.”
Account Manager, ThompsonGas
Former Management Intern
“ThompsonGas provided an immersive experience that allowed me to actively learn from each functional department on the ground and gain insights directly from our executive leadership team. Our project assignments allowed me to research and design my own presentation on the potential AutoGas market for our executives, which led to my initial interest in the propane industry.
The most valuable takeaway from my internship at ThompsonGas was experiencing the culture that our company embodies from top to bottom. The relationships established with our upper management and local teams provided a seamless transition into my new job. This type of environment is what I was in search of upon graduating college, not just with ThompsonGas, but with any company. This is a huge reason why I decided to return to Thompson Gas as a full-time Account Manager for our Smokey Mountains region.
We aren’t currently accepting applications for the Summer Internship Program. Check back in Spring 2024 for the next round. Questions about the program can be directed to Lauren Reed, Senior Manager, Talent Strategy, at [email protected].
