I chose to join Clarios because of the great coworkers, great managers, good work-life balance, interesting projects, competitive pay for the Milwaukee area, and I love living in Milwaukee! :)
What would you say to someone exploring Clarios as a choice fresh out of college or trade/tech school?
I would consider what you want out of a job, whether it’s a specific skill you want to learn on the job or explore a certain career path or opportunity. Also ask about the corporate culture and how you can grow and succeed. Clarios is a great place to start with lots of different jobs to explore and great people to network with.
What is the most important thing you got out of working a summer with us during college?
After my internship at Clarios, I gained knowledge of new tools and skills, the automotive industry (and batteries of course), how to ask for help when you’re stuck on a problem and more confidence in my abilities as an engineer.

Clarios is well-positioned in an industry that is not going anywhere. There are friendly coworkers (especially in the rotational programs), opportunities to travel, and an emphasis on work-life balance (including half-day Fridays in the summer). It is a great place to start your career.
What is the most important thing you got out of your summer with us?
Going to a plant and seeing what the manufacturing processes look like, what the product really looks like on the inside, really helps give perspective to what we all are working towards in the organization. Every intern should go to at least one plant to learn as much as they can!

From Anna who currently works in Finance
Why did you choose to join Clarios?
I had a very successful summer internship at Clarios. By the end of the summer, I implemented training documents and daily reports that are still used today. I also learned many functional skills such as Excel, data analysis, public speaking, and critical thinking. So I pursued one of the Finance Rotational positions upon graduating.
What would you say to someone exploring Clarios as a choice fresh out of college or trade/tech school?
Exploring Clarios through one of the rotational programs is a great way for you to explore different areas of your specialty in a fast-paced environment and make many connections along the way. I love the family-like atmosphere that Clarios has, and I am excited to continue learning throughout this program.
What is the most important thing you got out of your summer with us?
The most important part about my summer internship was all of the connections I was able to make through the informational interviews/weekly intern calls.
