He found the One-Stop’s connections with local companies very useful and was placed at L3 Harris Electron Devices for an internship while he finished school.

He completed his internship at L3 Harris and earned his bachelor’s degree, he then immediately found employment with Condor Cargo.
“I am now doing something that I enjoy, and I think having that prestigious internship on my resume really helped seal the deal of my new occupation.”
