[00:00:03.050]April Johnson sets up a taste test
[00:00:05.310]for three flavors of canned coffee
[00:00:07.550]under development by a company.
[00:00:09.620]It's kind of the setup for a sensory analysis
[00:00:13.490]to compare the different coffees.
[00:00:15.910]When new products run through a taste test,
[00:00:18.610]April gets a taste of a future career.
[00:00:21.270]The Food Science Major from Albion, Nebraska
[00:00:23.620]says the experience helped her prepare
[00:00:25.860]for an internship last summer.
[00:00:28.250]It was really helpful to see the product development side
[00:00:32.080]of you know, of the Food Processing Center
[00:00:35.020]and learn more about it for my internship
[00:00:38.310]because you know, product development
[00:00:39.710]was what I was really interested in.
[00:00:41.741]April and other Food Science
[00:00:43.710]and Technology students rotate through a variety
[00:00:46.300]of real world work experiences
[00:00:48.410]in the Food Processing Center at Nebraska Innovation campus.
[00:00:52.080]We want them to put into practice
[00:00:53.550]the things they're learning in their classes
[00:00:55.980]and to prepare them to be,
[00:00:58.120]hit the ground running when they graduate.
[00:00:59.820]So it's really an outstanding opportunity for them
[00:01:02.170]and it's really good for us too.
[00:01:03.610]The Food Processing Center
[00:01:04.940]student rotation program allows students
[00:01:07.120]to operate equipment, learn manufacturing processes,
[00:01:10.440]and conduct research.
[00:01:11.960]It's given them a chance
[00:01:13.690]to see how different companies work,
[00:01:15.350]how their product development processes
[00:01:17.050]may differ from each other.
[00:01:18.660]And it's an opportunity for students
[00:01:20.490]to put careers to the test before they graduate.
