Our global internship program has taken great strides this year, helping to underline our commitment to developing the next generation of talent.

Our teams in Europe, South America, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region have all embraced the program, taking on a number of interns from higher education institutions in their local markets. In South America, for instance, 14 interns have been introduced into various departments across three different locations; Gravataí, Juatuba, and São José dos Campos, while our manufacturing plants in China can take on up to five people in the program at a time.

As well as gaining important experience, the interns are adding real value to their teams, providing practical support and fresh insight across a variety of departments, including advanced engineering, process engineering, purchasing, IT, and logistics.

The program delivers an excellent opportunity for our interns to learn from our exceptional team of experts across the world, benefitting from the experience and knowledge of TI Fluid Systems staff who are at the cutting edge of our industry. It has also given many interns an opportunity to experience our state-of-the-art facilities, including the revolutionary e-Mobility Innovation Center (eMIC) in Rastatt, Germany, and our company headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

As each internship comes to an end, we liaise with the interns’ universities to give feedback on their performance and, where appropriate, emphasise the positive impact that they have had on our daily operations.

We are delighted with how our global internship program is developing. Moving forward, we are excited to continue to bring the industry’s leading talent through our doors and provide them with the opportunity to develop on our watch.
