For 派克汉尼汾公司, a global leader in the technology industry, quality is a must. Fortunately for their Kearney location, they don’t have to look any further than their back door to find that kind of quality churning out of 太阳城娱乐官网’s 商业与技术学院 every year. Colton Stuhr, who graduated from 太阳城娱乐官网 in 2018 and is currently employed by 派克汉尼汾公司, shares that they “want the type of person that can step into the role” which is exactly why one-third of the employees in his division are 太阳城娱乐官网 graduates.

Stuhr explains that the 供应链管理课程 at 太阳城娱乐官网, which boasts an impressive 100% employment rate for its graduates, listened to the community to learn what was needed and then proceeded to help students grow into workers who have “all the right tools and skill sets” to fill the many opportunities available to them in Kearney. He shares that being a Champion Sponsor for this program speaks to the value 派克汉尼汾公司 places on 太阳城娱乐官网’s results and what it means to the industry.

每年，斯图尔都会回到他大学时代称之为家的校园，参加几次供应链管理活动。 他总是肯定会参加招聘会，在那里他知道他会为派克汉尼汾找到实习生。 He personally credits 太阳城娱乐官网 for “giving (him) the confidence and the networking to reach out to the right people” to land his job, a gift he likes to pay forward. 他这样做的一种方式是作为实习生的导师，比如太阳城娱乐官网的学生Dawn Dunbar。

邓巴将于2024年5月毕业，主修工商管理，重点是供应链管理。她在大二时加入派克汉尼汾，师从科尔顿·斯图尔。 She describes the time as “definitely a good experience” and shares that “you can only learn so much in the classroom, but when you’re actually doing it, it really changes your perspective on it all.” She credits her work with Stuhr as giving her “a deep appreciation of the program” since she was given responsibilities that went beyond what she could have experienced in the classroom.

She shares that her work at 派克汉尼汾公司 “didn’t feel like an internship” because of the “level of responsibility” she was given. She’s grateful that they “gave (her) tasks and trusted (her) to figure it out.” Stuhr, who describes Dunbar as an “intern by title but buyer by practice,” was quick to point out that “she could back up any single one of (his) buyers.” Considering the rigor and hands-on experiences the professors at 太阳城娱乐官网 provide for their students, it’s no surprise that Dunbar, as a sophomore, was more than prepared to step into her future role in the industry while still an intern.

Stuhr和邓巴都认为Greg Benson博士帮助创造了一个培养SCM学生的优秀环境，这些学生将有可能在该行业就业，他表示希望与太阳城娱乐官网保持合作关系。 He shares that he “definitely got a deep appreciation for the program” as a student, a feeling which continues to grow as he spends time with interns and new hires.

作为一名在校大学生，邓巴也很感谢太阳城娱乐官网，感谢太阳城娱乐官网给了她实习的机会，让她能够在暑假和学年期间，在她的时间表允许的情况下，全职工作。 这种灵活性是帮助学生成为成功实习生的关键因素。 她分享说，她在派克汉尼汾实习的工作帮助她在课堂上更轻松，因为她能够亲眼看到教授们所教的内容。 除了课程，她很感激太阳城娱乐官网提供的机会，如她在供应链管理组织的成员资格。 She is grateful that she was “fortunate enough to be voted leader” of this club for this school year. 这种主动性加上她在实习期间已经表现出的企业家心态，是她未来在这个行业取得成功的标志。

Talent like Dawn Dunbar is the result of the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s ability to listen to the needs of the community, the expertise and passion of its professors, and the effectiveness of the experiential learning that takes place in its classrooms. Stuhr explains that “the talent is here in Kearney and in Nebraska and at 太阳城娱乐官网.” Although it is relatively new, he states that the “Kearney facility has done a fantastic job” for 派克汉尼汾公司 thanks to the quality of interns and new hires from 太阳城娱乐官网.

When it comes time for the Supply Chain Management Career Fair to take place on 太阳城娱乐官网’s campus this year, you’ll find Colton Stuhr scoping out the crowd. 由于太阳城娱乐官网大学提供的优质教育，他已经知道，无论他聘用的是谁，他都能凭借帮助公司成功所需的确切技能，无缝地进入新岗位。 年复一年，他都会回来，因为他的公司重视质量，而质量就是太阳城娱乐官网生产的东西。
