High Cotton’s mission is to hire current students wanting to expand their knowledge of IT infrastructures and software development. “Our program is not typical internship work, like getting making copies and getting sandwiches,” says High Cotton Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Griffin McGahey. “It’s a chance for students to take what they’ve learned in the classroom and apply to real-world projects. Since our program’s inception in the winter of 2016, we have hired two former interns to full-time roles and two others to longer term part-time roles as they continue their studies.”
Previous interns hired into full-time roles include Josh Cain, originally of Chicago, IL and Trenton Knight, of Birmingham, AL. Cain was hired as a System Administrator and maintains the software systems used by the Client Service department. Knight was hired as a Software Developer and is responsible for testing new software and backend development projects.
He works with the Symfony PHP framework, Amazon Web Services technology, and Virtual machines to develop his projects. If you are interested in applying for this program or know someone who would be interested, please send a brief bio or resume, including course history and GPA to internship@highcottonusa.com.
