We’re thrilled to share that Raif Morgan, Derby, 2021, has secured a Supply Chain Management Internship for the Summer of 2025 in Wichita, Kansas! For 2 months, Raif will be immersed in an experience that blends analytical challenges, strategic thinking, and professional development.
During the internship, Raif will work alongside supply chain leaders to develop, analyze, and maintain key metrics that drive supply chain strategy. He will also play a crucial role in risk analysis and assessment, helping the team create contingency plans in case of supply disruptions or delays in receiving essential parts. Ensuring accurate data will be another focus of his role, and he will be responsible for running reports and reconciling any discrepancies he finds within supply chain data systems.
Raif’s experience will allow him to refine his soft and hard skills. He’ll engage in inter-departmental communication, negotiation, and relationship-building with internal teams and external partners. Additionally, he’ll gain hands-on experience using ERP and data software to support supply chain operations. Raif will also work on a significant project that directly impacts the company’s supply chain development. At the end of the summer, he will present his findings to executive leaders.
Raif will also be able to participate in organized, social, recreational, and volunteer activities with a cohort of fellow interns.
While waiting for summer to roll around, Raif has shared, “I’m most excited about the ability to play a role in a supply chain much greater than myself, and being in a place where my decisions will have a direct impact on Spirit and their operations. I very much enjoy the prospect of being a “liaison” of sorts, a middleman that can help those on either side of the chain accomplish their goals.
I’m also excited to learn about using multiple kinds of software, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) software like SAP and business analytics software like PowerBI. I am unfamiliar with a lot of the software that’s out there, and I am looking forward to immersing myself in them and learning about all they have to offer.
I’m looking forward to potentially being in a position where I can participate in negotiations or work out deals and contracts. I have become interested in the nature of contracts and agreements and I am hoping I will get the opportunity to be in a negotiator’s role.
Lastly, I am excited about forming as many new connections as I can and absorbing as much knowledge as I can about the aerospace industry and its supply chain.”
We are incredibly proud of Raif and look forward to seeing all he accomplishes during this exciting next step in his professional journey!
