Stockamp Helps Educate Future Workforce (Continued from Cover) the exchange Newspaper of the College of Business at Oregon State University >> Spring 2006 Stockamp Helps Educate Future Workforce (Continued from cover) We have been successful at OSU in both recruiting and retaining top students and our results in filling our technical positions with graduates from the MIS and CS programs have been particularly strong. We look forward to maintaining this great relationship.” Stockamp & Associates’ Uwe Gluhr, ‘01, a senior products ana- lyst, said, “We have had good experience getting the right kind of people in our recruiting efforts at OSU. We like the MIS pro- gram. It is one of a few in the state.” However, according to Gluhr, students have to be active in internships if they want a good job. “Students need at least one internship after their junior year. It shows motivation, initiative and that they have a taste for what it is like in a real work environ- ment,” said Gluhr. “As an employer, if a graduating senior doesn’t have an internship, it is a red flag.” For Meredith Wellman, ’01, ’02 MBA, a Stockamp senior prod- uct analyst, it is the interest in solving business problems with technology that counts. “Examples of pertinent, previous experi- ence and internships that demonstrate a deeper business under- standing or exposure to databases, design and testing, should be demonstrated during the interview.
