Naveed Torabzadeh, a senior at Long Beach Polytechnic High School, interned at Gulfstream this past summer. Naveed shared, “this company and industry really fits my future interests of being a mechanical engineer. An internship with a company like Gulfstream was the best way I could have wished to explore my academic interests and spend my summer.” Gulfstream manufactures the world's most advanced business jet airplanes.
Naveed worked in the engineering department and learned how to use CATIAv5, an industry favorite in computer-aided design software. He learned how to sketch in 2D and then turn those sketches into 3D models. Naveed also job shadowed a liaison engineer who works directly with craftsmen, technicians, and installation personnel who all help ensure a smooth transition from the engineers’ plans to the finished product.
When asked what advice he would give to a student applying for CaLL’s internship program next summer, Naveed stated, “Visit your school’s career center or counseling office to learn about opportunities available to you even before summer. An internship is all about exploring a potential career and also yourself. What you are doing at an internship may not be your favorite thing in the world, but it’s better to discover that now than later down the road.”
