- [00:00:00.000](lively, happy music)
- [00:00:04.301]Spreetail is an e-commerce company,
- [00:00:05.980]and what we do here is to make sure that people
- [00:00:08.470]get connected with the products that they want.
- [00:00:10.620]At Spreetail, I'm a business process engineer.
- [00:00:12.980]That means I work really closely with our operations team.
- [00:00:17.360]And my role is specifically concerned with building
- [00:00:19.540]the software to make all of that possible.
- [00:00:21.300]So we're trying to get the product to the customer
- [00:00:23.460]as fast as possible for the lowest cost.
- [00:00:25.560]I started here as an intern after my junior year of college.
- [00:00:28.780]During that internship, I had the opportunity to build
- [00:00:31.536]two major systems that are still being used today.
- [00:00:34.820]I was not just fetching, coffee, no, I was build,
- [00:00:36.880]yeah, I am very proud of the systems I built.
- [00:00:39.000]University students are huge in what we have done,
- [00:00:42.180]what we're doing, and where we will go.
- [00:00:44.100]Our internship program through the university
- [00:00:46.340]takes in about 70 students total.
- [00:00:48.550]When they get here, they're not just an intern.
- [00:00:51.070]They're a part of our organization,
- [00:00:52.670]and we want to empower them.
- [00:00:54.040]And we want to make sure that when they walk out
- [00:00:55.540]of this internship, that they have had the sort
- [00:00:57.640]of experience that prepares them for the real world.
- [00:00:59.860]And their ability to contribute has been instrumental
- [00:01:04.610]to how we've been able to go from a company
- [00:01:07.321]that was started out of a garage 10 years ago
- [00:01:11.440]to a company now that has 400-plus employees.
- [00:01:14.880]We love working with the Computer Science
- [00:01:16.400]and Engineering Department because of the relationships
- [00:01:19.020]that we can build with the students.
- [00:01:20.430]We have sponsored a couple projects with that department.
- [00:01:23.850]We have hired many of those students as interns.
- [00:01:26.640]So it's a great recruiting pipeline for us.
- [00:01:28.850]But it's also a great way for us to give back
- [00:01:30.830]to the community and give back to the university.
- [00:01:33.020]As we think about building here at Nebraska,
- [00:01:35.730]as we think about building around the United States,
- [00:01:38.160]a huge part of that foundation is built on
- [00:01:41.470]the education people got through the University of Nebraska.
