This July, United States Cold Storage ("USCS") hosted 10 interns from Girls Inc., an NGO that partners with schools, communities, and youth organisations to offer developmental programmes that encourage youngsters to build confidence and skills. The visiting girls are participants in "Eureka!" – a five-year STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] programme for rising eighth graders. Eureka! provides hands-on learning in STEM fields, and the internship at USCS' Camden, New Jersey, head office saw multidisciplinary staff leading hands-on workshops on sustainability, safety, marketing, business intelligence and business development – including how to collect and analyse data and deliver a convincing "elevator pitch" to potential customers or employers.
