Internships
“My internship at Werner Enterprises was very interesting. I was able to take what I
had been learning in my classes and use those skills in the real world. My advice to
interns is to put yourself out there and always try your best. You will never know
what opportunities are in front of you if you never take that first step.”
 Libby Manful, Werner Enterprises Intern, Summer 2012
