Internship Program

WTDC’s internship program has been an excellent opportunity for employees to share their knowledge of the logistics industry with college students. Students in the WTDC internship program develop skills in shipping, transportation, and warehousing while gaining an invaluable introduction to the professional workplace.

The internship program began at WTDC in 2008. Since then, over 100 students have honed their business skills at our company. We have developed relationships in higher education at each of the local universities. This process has yielded consistent talent for our organization and has fostered a symbiotic relationship that adds valuable experience to the students, professors, and administrators responsible for creating logistics-based curricula.

Local universities have since used WTDC as an example organization for companies looking to create an internship infrastructure. WTDC adopted a “Creativity over Productivity” motto for the program, one that drives home the goal for the internship to be a true learning-based experience. In turn, our student interns have been able to grow into their roles as well-rounded young businessmen and businesswomen.

WTDC has mentored over 100 interns since implementing an internship program in 2018. Students gain direct insights into supply chain management, regulatory compliance, and the day-today coordination to move goods across borders. The program pairs technical instruction with mentorship from experienced professionals, creating an immersive learning environment rarely replicated in the classroom.
Dr. David Wernick, longtime academic partner, credits the program with delivering meaningful impact for his students.
“Our longstanding partnership with WTDC has been a game changer for my students. In addition to funding scholarships for students to travel to India to participate in our Bandhwari Women’s Project, the company has hosted dozens of my students as interns, where they have learned about the logistics industry and global trade from a team of talented and dedicated professionals,” Wernick said. “Moreover, my students have learned about the importance of hard work, integrity, honor, and social responsibility, as these are core values at the heart of WTDC’s business. I look forward to deepening this remarkable partnership in the years to come.”
WTDC Intern Jaiden Lee-Jones, who is pursuing a master’s degree in international business at Florida International University, has described his experience as transformative.
“I want to thank WTDC for the opportunity to intern with such an incredible family-owned logistics company and for modeling a culture built on strong values,” Lee-Jones said. “As a master’s student in international business, hands-on experience and exposure to international professionals have been both inspiring and transformative. I am truly grateful for the impact WTDC has had on me and will continue to carry those lessons forward throughout my career.”
By immersing students in operational environments and reinforcing professional ethics, companies can bridge the gap between academic theory and applied practice.
For WTDC, the internship program goes beyond a traditional recruitment tool, it is a meaningful investment in the future of global trade and talent development. By preparing professionals who understand not only how to move cargo efficiently but also how to lead with accountability and purpose, WTDC is shaping a workforce ready for an increasingly connected marketplace. As partnerships with educational institutions grow, the program stands as a strong example of how private industry can collaborate with academia to develop the next generation of logistics leaders while staying true to its core values.
