FOWLER, CA - Bee Sweet Citrus President Jim Marderosian has announced his plan to give students a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get produce industry experience. Bee Sweet will now be providing students with intern and employment opportunities.
“The job world is very competitive,” Marderosian said. “It’s vital for students to gain industry experience before they graduate; and those opportunities can easily be obtained through networking events.”
Bee Sweet Citrus representatives have been busy reaching out to undergraduate students throughout the Central Valley, and with summer internships and various full-time positions open, the company believes that both junior college and university students have the skills necessary to add to the betterment of their company.
Coordinator of Internships and Professional Experiences, Mary Willis, has been working with students for several years. Willis believes that students miss out on employment opportunities when they fail to network with industry professionals.
“Networking is not only the receiving of information, but the sharing of information,” said Willis. “The ability to effectively network is essential to anyone’s career success and it’s of particular importance to college students who are seeking internship and career opportunities.”
According to a press release, Bee Sweet Citrus has attended three career fairs and plans on attending many more. With positions open in the areas of industrial technology, plant science, business administration, food science and food safety, the need for skilled individuals is at an all-time high.
