Shane Hughes, Global Internal Audit Intern

Grade: Rising senior

College: Waynesburg University

Degree: International Business

Shane shares that...
During my internship I have had the opportunity to travel to 5 different WEC locations around the country, and I learned how much actually goes into running a multinational company. Most business/financial positions in a company are very behind the scenes and have a very limited scope, but as an internal auditor you can see much more than typical finance scope. Our job is to ensure that the different locations are following proper procedures, to mitigate risks in these procedures, and to find points of improvement in the business.

I hope to pursue a full-time position in supply chain, or internal audit post-graduation at either an automotive company, or at Westinghouse. I am very thankful for this internship and opportunity to work at such an amazing company.
