Introduction:
Intern at Ingredion all summer
I received this opportunity from my involvement from Girls 4 Science.
I am currently going to my senior year at Western Illinois Unversity for Graphic Communication
I want tell you about my experience
The Departments I worked in all summer.
I enjoyed being involved in so many projects from these departments which gave me a pick into what each brings to the company
The HR team has a meetings where they need to measure different qualities of the work environment such as diversity or Absences of employees.
I was approached to help find new ways measuring our work space to possibly help improve on company.
I researched online for new metrics to apply and I have listed the ones I found that were actually used by HR team here.
As the company was looking for new employees they needed job description to pull qualified people.
I was asked to research other fortune 500 companies job descriptions to give to HR for an example.
After HR wrote the job description they would sometimes send it back to me to organize the description just like the one on the screen
After Ingredion would hire a new employee HR usually makes a written announcement to everyone informing them of a little background on the individual.
My job was to review the new hires resume and the job description and to form this announcement for HR to look over then send out to the employees.
Currently the HR is looking for a LMS company which are Learning Management Systems which are a educational program that provides courses to students, or big organizations, or businesses.
HR was interested in finding one that provided Microsoft Suite courses that can bought individually not packaged.
I researched many different companies gathering information on their courses and pricing. Such as Skillsoft, Brainstorm and Coggno
I sent the qualities of about 3 or 4 companies to HR and they expresses to me who they were interested in and I set up meetings between them to discuss further about the courses and pricing
I worked with Accounting to compare numbers from 2014 and 2015 pension plans to the numbers for this years plan.
I also compiled information for the Ingredion pension audits.
This is necessary for internal supportive document purposes.
It will be used for auditors to review if support is needed in the future.
at the awards I helped with decorating the dining room at the CEO awards as well as helped organized seating for the nominees and other individuals
I also helped guided guest to the room where the awards would be held. Met new people from all over the globe
I worked on Project Jetson which is the name of the project to renovate the building
I was given the job of designing the change enablement booklet which will be online for employees to print for reference on how to deal with change.
The project Jetson team thought it would be important to guide the company on handling a new environment.
So it was a pleasure using my ability to help with the changes that are taking place
Another project for the renovation was brought to my attention.
A booklet is going to be provided to employees that will tell them everything they need to know about the new space.
It will have everything from where the meeting rooms are to how to use some the social hubs.
I was given the job of designing this booklet as well.
Another project from Communications was the Photo Archives which was basically me making a new system to organize the photo for company usage. After I brought my ideas we applied them to the J drvie and just started placing pictures in different categories based on content
I worked with Environmental keeping up with Ingredion’s plants on their metrics.
It is a goal for Ingredion to reduce its amount of water and co2 usage and this is the beginning on how to do that.
I was responsible for looking at email sent by plants across the globe and organizing their documents by location.
I then filled out a checklist of the information the plants had uploaded to our management systems and matched those with the documents they sent through email.
I would the record what information was still needed from each plant and let Mr. Bosse know.
I learned at organize better do to having to organize for not only email or photos, but information as well.
I gained computer skill form being here this summer. I was taught quicker ways to use Excel and Word and even some new tricks on Adobe software I can now take with me.
I learned how to communicate and work better with others. At my other jobs I mostly had to work on my own, but here I got experience on how to be apart of a team. Properly communicating with your team is the only way to get the
job done and succeed, so if you need a hand just ask.
Lastly I learned how to work in a Office setting. Being that is my first time working at a fortune 500 company, I expected a certain standard for all their employees to have. By watching many of the people I worked with I learned is appropriate and what is not in the work place.
And for all these lessons I am truly grateful for Ingredion for this experience and relationships it has given me.
Thank you for great summer experience which has opened my eyes to greater possibilities.
