This summer, our Internship Steering Committee brought together teams across Atlas to deliver a meaningful, high-impact experience for our interns—one designed not just to teach, but to inspire long-term careers in aviation and beyond.
Led by Leisa Spears Snyder, Director of Workforce Development, the committee introduced new elements like a Leadership Speaker Series, offering interns direct access to senior executives including CEO Michael Steen. Interns reported a 34% increase in networking confidence—one of many indicators of the program’s success.
Behind the scenes, the committee designed curriculum, coordinated mentorship, and ensured interns had the tools to contribute in big ways. From optimizing crew scheduling and enhancing cybersecurity to saving costs through tech innovation, these interns made a real impact.
We don’t just offer internships—we create launchpads. And thanks to the dedication of this cross-functional team, Atlas continues to grow the next generation of aviation professionals.
