What Makes This Internship Different?

What sets this Sales Data Analytics Internship apart from others is the opportunity to directly impact a core manufacturing operation within the metals industry. Rather than working only with simulated data or limited projects, interns will work with real-time sales, pricing, and operational datasets that influence company strategy and profitability. The role provides exposure to advanced business intelligence tools, such as Qlik Sense and Power BI, while also offering the chance to collaborate with cross-functional teams in sales, operations, and leadership. This combination of technical skill development, strategic business involvement, and hands-on experience in a large-scale industrial environment gives interns a unique perspective that many other data analytics internships cannot provide.
