The option to have rotations, learning in two different businesses and different roles, was really interesting for me because it gives me the opportunity to learn more about what I actually want to do long term. The international exposure has been a huge bonus too. I’m only four weeks in and I’ve already spent two weeks learning from our team in Germany.

What I’ve appreciated most about these first few weeks has been the opportunity to learn about VSP Technologies as a whole. I’ve had the chance to spend time with leaders across the organization and see firsthand the unique role each division plays — from engineering and manufacturing to inventory and shipping, accounting, purchasing, and sales.”
