Business Testimonials

We had an opportunity for an Owens environmental science intern to work and learn in our Environmental Services department during the Spring 2022 semester. Pete Kowal was very helpful in helping to identify the right student and guiding us through a successful placement. We couldn’t have been more impressed with the student, who came prepared to apply their learning and assess the career for their future, all the while assisting our environmental consultants in their day-to-day work. We hope to have future opportunities for Owens interns and appreciate very much how the students come prepared for success. Thank you, Pete, and Owens Community College!

The student interns from Owens Community College, that worked at the Whiteford Water Treatment Plant, were excellent. They were eager to learn the operation of our plant and to get a start in their industry. They quickly became effective and efficient at the operation of the plant. We appreciated their reliability and commitment to the industry and their career.

For some time now First Solar and Owens Community College have had a nice connection.

As always, Owens did not disappoint (I am also an Owens graduate from a long time ago and had a great experience, so I may be biased)… Being a small business, we may not have considered an intern due to the cost, but the grant helped motivate us to give it a try. Every little bit helps and we are happy for the help the grant has provided.

Thanks,
