\nThe list was decided by a panel of industry-leading HR experts and professionals, with input from the general public. Terminix<\/a> was selected primarily for providing multiple engagement opportunities around Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, including open-forum sessions where interns and company teammates came together to discuss their feelings openly and honestly concerning their experiences and perspectives, according to WayUp.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe Terminix IT Internship Program was by far the most robust and rewarding experience that I’ve had to date,\u201d says Terrance Campbell, 2020 IT virtual intern from Tennessee State University. \u201cFrom day one of the internship, I was treated as a valuable team member and the entire IT leadership has been available and helpful. Terminix allowed me to engage in real-time projects that align with my career aspirations.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAlthough internship hiring was down 49 percent because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Glassdoor<\/a>, Terminix conducted a full 10-week program for nine interns from six different colleges and universities. The program was almost entirely virtual, allowing interns to earn real-world experience and training from their own homes. Six of nine of the interns have since received extensions or full-time job offers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAt Terminix, one of our core values is perseverance,\u201d says Robert Doty, Terminix Chief Information Officer. \u201cWe initially planned an in-person IT internship, but our team adjusted and adapted to create a meaningful experience for both our teammates and our interns.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nEach intern in the program was paired with an IT team based on their skill set, interests and background. The interns were assigned projects and tasks that were a part of the teams P.I. (program increment) objectives. They also attended daily stand-up meetings, iteration planning, and IT training sessions.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI felt like I was totally immersed in the Terminix business plan throughout the experience,\u201d said Parks Gates, 2020 IT virtual intern from the University of Alabama. \u201cThis internship program put us right in the middle of the action and made us an integral part of the daily operations on the IT team. I feel truly blessed to have been able to participate.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
