WingSwept Supplements Staff
Through Internship Program
RALEIGH (June 15, 2005) - WingSwept, a leading IT consulting company specializing in Web and database development, has added three interns this summer to supplement its staff. Each intern completes a rigorous on-the-job training course to prepare for full-time employment in the Web development and computer science fields.
Clay Lehman, who recently earned his bachelor's degree summa cum laude in computer science at North Carolina State University, is working on an internship this summer before he returns to N.C. State University in the fall to begin work on his master's degree in computer science. Eric Baram and Bradley Jackson, seniors at N.C. State University, are working with WingSwept prior to their graduation in December.
WingSwept President Jay Strickland said he and the company are fortunate to continually find bright, dedicated interns to supplement his growing professional staff.
"As part of our commitment to ensuring that we field the best possible staff members, we believe strongly in the benefits of a proactive internship program," Strickland said. "We believe our most recent group of interns is highly skilled and full of promise, and we hope to continue developing their professional skills as future talent for the entire industry."
With a strong belief in grooming future talent, WingSwept has established a rigorous internship program. The company seeks recommendations from N.C. State University computer science faculty members, and only those candidates with strong academic achievements and drive are encouraged to apply. Both candidates and recommending faculty are interviewed to gauge a candidate's fit and performance capacity. Those who accept and perform beyond expectations are encouraged to continue subsequent internship opportunities with WingSwept.
"At WingSwept, we are always scanning the horizon for the developers and graphic designers of tomorrow," Strickland said. "And rather than limit candidates to a single semester of career development, we like to work with emerging talent to encourage further development. When we find promising candidates, it's definitely a win-win situation for all of us."
The WingSwept companies provide full-service information technology consulting focused on interactive media and e-business systems. Headquartered in Garner, N.C., WingSwept Communications was established in 2000, followed by the incorporation of WingSwept Technologies in 2002 by its president, Jay Strickland, who has been in the Web technology consulting field for over a decade.
