An Internship at Olympic Industries
Why an Internship at Olympic Industries is More Than Just a Job
At Olympic Industries, we don’t believe in mundane tasks for our interns. We believe in immersing them in the real-world dynamics of the lumber trading industry from day one. Our internship program is designed to be hands-on, fast-paced, and full of opportunities to learn and grow. But don’t just take our word for it—hear from two of our interns who have experienced it firsthand.
A Culture of Collaboration and Growth
We take pride in fostering a workplace that is both professional and welcoming. According to Zoe Pham, our Accounting Intern, the company culture is best described as “flexible, collaborative, and a work-hard, play-hard environment.”
We value teamwork, adaptability, and a strong work ethic, ensuring that every intern feels like a valued member of our team.
Advice for Future Interns
Starting a new internship can be daunting, especially in an industry as dynamic as lumber trading. Denzel Mountali, our Commodity Trader Intern, shares this piece of advice for future interns:
“This internship throws you into the deep end right away. Commit to the uncomfortable process of growth and learn as much as you can. Traders will help you succeed if you show them you want to be here.”
At Olympic Industries, we believe that real growth comes from pushing boundaries and stepping outside of comfort zones. We equip our interns with the knowledge, mentorship, and hands-on experience needed to excel, but we also encourage them to take initiative and be proactive in their learning.
