During her tenure as an intern, Shanticia has seamlessly navigated the domain of Information Technology, acquiring proficiencies in data management, SQL programming, data security, among other valuable skills. In her own words, Shanticia aptly summarizes her experience:

“Working at First Source Worldwide has been a remarkable experience, allowing me to gain real-world experience in my field while also learning content that I would not have learned in a school setting. I have had the opportunity to work on individual and collaborative projects for many different IT topics. I have gained so many new skills that I can apply in the rest of my career, even after college. Working alongside Macy has been inspirational and motivating as my goal for my career is to have a leadership role in the IT field. I was initially hired as a seasonal intern, but towards the end of the program, I was offered to stay on during the school year. I look forward to continuing to grow and learn with First Source Worldwide, as they have supported my goals and provided many learning opportunities.”

Currently in her junior year, Shanticia is enrolled at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh, majoring in Information Systems with an emphasis on Data Analytics. Her anticipated graduation date is 2025. Shanticia’s contributions have been invaluable to FSW, and her promising future is undeniably bright.

“I wanted to be in purchasing because I like seeing things from start to finish, how it plays out from placing the order to the final product being shipped. I like being a key player in that entire process and making it happen.

The job was posted on Handshake, a recruiting portal for college students, and when I applied and I received a response within a few hours. When I interviewed for the opportunity, I felt a connection almost immediately. Anne, our Director of Procurement, was so sweet and she has been my mentor ever since. She saw potential in me and wanted to help me go somewhere… bring that out in me. It was one of the main things that attracted me to the job.

I was a bit terrified my first day, but more so excited. I didn’t know what the acronyms and scientific terms were (just like a foreign language). The biggest challenge was adjusting to the chemical industry; It was overwhelming trying to learn the different products, what they are, how they come in as raw materials, and what goes into the lab to formulate and produce what we need for our customers.

First Source gave me a career, the general skills for my future, and even life skills. I am actively using what I learned in school. I am comfortable with what I am doing, where I am at, and knowing that I have “leveled-up” (advanced from where I came). As soon as I started, I wasn’t being looked at as an intern; I felt included right away and participating in all of the company activities. Everyone was helpful; it’s like a big family here and that’s big for me. It’s personal.”
