DALLAS, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global pioneer in security
software, today announced the launch of its Second Annual Global
Family Internship Program. This initiative promotes the importance
of educating the millennial generation on cyber security, as well
as provides first-hand work experience in a corporate
environment.
"Young innovation is critical to the sustainability of our
business," says Glenn Harbin,
director of human resources, shared services, Trend Micro. "We want
this internship to teach students not only about their field of
interest, but also about how to integrate into the work
environment. Generation Y is one that will redefine the workplace.
Therefore, we believe it is our duty to stay ahead of the curve
while making every effort to prepare both parties for the
assimilation of the millennial generation into the corporate
atmosphere."
The family internship program runs for up to eight weeks in the
summer. Interns have the opportunity to learn about cyber threats
from industry experts while focusing on the importance of data
security for the millennial generation. Interns are generally
relatives of Trend Micro employees, emphasizing the company's
family-friendly culture.
Trend Micro offers a wide variety of fields of study for interns
to pursue, including marketing, accounting, human resources,
finance, research and development, technology support, and sales.
Within these areas, interns learn the impact each department has on
the company's ability to execute on its mission to create "a world
safe for exchanging digital information."
"This internship is a phenomenal opportunity to see the inner
workings of the corporate world. We are able to not only experience
how a successful global company is run, but also see the
application of the technology that the company creates," said
Bobby Dotterer, a Trend Micro human
resources intern. "As a millennial, I see first-hand how our lives
are integrated with technology to an extent never before seen by
society. Having an inside look at a company whose primary goal is
to keep data of users of technology secure is extremely
inspiring."
Throughout the course of the summer, interns will chronicle
their experiences through blogs and social media. To follow
