It’s summertime, and for all of us at Alpine Supply Chain Solutions, that means we get another chance to mentor the next generation of supply chain leaders. We’re excited to welcome four interns this summer: Nick LaKose, Josh Leshem, Sai Prasad and Blake Wohlwend. Our internship program is focused on helping college students and recent graduates get hands-on supply chain experience.
During their internship, Nick, Josh, Sai and Blake, will connect with and learn from one another, Alpine’s leadership team, and our growing list of clients. The supply chain world is always looking for new and innovative ways to solve problems, and we’re confident that these interns are going to teach us just as much as we teach them!
Here’s a little more about our 2022 interns:

As an upcoming junior, he is very involved with his fraternity and the Iowa State Rugby team; taking lead as treasurer for both organizations. In his spare time, he enjoys riding and working on his motorcycles and weight training.

He also has several summers experience working in a warehouse, even earning a forklift license after high school, which sparked his interest in the field of warehouse design. This summer, Josh is excited to use his critical thinking skills to attack problems in both a quantitative and qualitative manner while improving his personal and technical skills in the supply chain sector. In his spare time, Josh enjoys using his Spanish skills to teach English at his local community center and cheering on The Yankees and UConn Huskies.
