My Internship was a challenging and enjoyable experience which helped me to put my academic knowledge into actual practice. Technical skills can be learnt at class but the organizational skills can be learnt only when we start practicing it in the real world. The pandemic tested my abilities as a Supply Chain Engineer and brought me out of my comfort zone. Thanks to UB and STL faculty for their continuous motivation and support, which was much required during these hard times.
