Automation and Controls Intern
May - August 2024 • Springfield, NJ
What I liked
I liked the dynamic environment and how hands-on a lot of the projects were. Along with developing my skills with softwares like DraftSight, I was given the opportunity to build upon engineering skills by making electrical composures and mechanical systems. The team and management at Valcor were very cooperative and placed a great emphasis on learning throughout this internship.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern
May - August 2024 • Springfield, NJ
What I liked
My experience at Valcor was nothing short of fantastic. The people are great, the work is engaging, and you get to make real impacts felt throughout the company. I learned more about engineering at Valcor than I did in my previous two years of education. Not to mention, they were very flexible and accommodating with my schedule, which I really appreciated and shows how they really care for their employees. I highly recommend interning here!
What I wish was different
Truthfully, Valcor did a good job running their intern program, and the Manufacturing Engineering department was great. The company is in a state of rapid growth, which meant that many of the interns did not have proper desks due to a lack of space, but were set up in conference rooms instead. Not the end of the world and it all worked out - and the company is currently constructing a second facility, so I don't think space will be an issue in the future.
Advice
Ask questions and really get to know your manager/co-workers! Everyone at Valcor was so welcoming and eager to explain new concepts if I didn't know them. Remember - the company works as a team!
