Friedrich Supports Industry, Local Community With Internship Opportunities
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — As the U.S. job market whipsaws from labor shortages to slowdowns, real-world internship experiences that offer hands-on training and education for enterprising young people are more important than ever. Friedrich Air Conditioning Co., a U.S.-based manufacturer of air conditioners and other home environment products, is offering an engineering internship program. Earlier this summer, the company selected five students—
one in high school and the other four in college—
for the opportunity to gain practical experience as part of the company’s engineering group.
The Friedrich internship program provides participating engineering students with the chance to work in an a/c lab while honing their teamwork, communication, presentation, and professionalism skills. The students gain practical experience working on complex projects ranging from using simulation software and ultrasonic humidifiers, to building reliability test fixtures.
