2019 Employer of the Year Award Winner

Congrats to the winner of the 2019 Employer of the Year Award, LyondellBasell. Below are excerpts from the nominations that were submitted by three Lyondellbasell interns.

“My mentor was amazing and really allowed me to grow as an engineer. He had been working in the field for a long time, so he knew not only what to teach me, but how to teach. Not many people have that skill, but his mentorship and ability to teach me made all the difference in my term.”

 “Outstanding 2nd to none young engineer development program. The training doesn't end after the first term. The company truly invests in their co-ops because they are interested in developing you into a well rounded engineer ready for full time work immediately after graduation. The company also promotes further learning after school with EngineerU for engineers hired within their first 5 years. This program consists of conferences and technical training on specific topics of interest in the industry usually not emphasized enough through coursework alone.”

“The co-op term was my highest point in my life so far. I was able to interact with like-minded individuals that were recruited by a fantastic University Recruiting team. Not only did I learn about my role as an electrical engineer…, but I improved on all my qualities and skills, such as interpersonal communication, technical skills, teamwork, but most importantly, SAFETY… I was able to recognize and mitigate more hazards while ensuring that the plant functioned in an environmentally safe manner… I was able to utilize "See Something, Say Something". Prior to my experience, I told myself I did not know what to expect since chemistry was one of my least favorite classes. Now that I've experienced working…, I truly admire chemistry and the process environment.”
