MDC Trade-Up Program Finale

WTDC hosted 5 interns from Miami-Dade College’s Trade-Up Summer Internship program. The program introduces high school students to trade and logistics for two weeks after some classroom instruction on the topic.

D’Andre Anderson and Ashley McPhee from Miami Central Senior High School assisted in our Customer Service and Operations. Ronald Reagan Senior High School students Alejandra Leal, Kyanna Bonner, and Maria Quero supported the Sales & Marketing Department.

WTDC was very pleased with the maturity and technical skills of the Interns. Even if their time was short, they made a great impact and livened up the workplace!
