A winning combination: Internships educate students and companies

In spring 2017, five ASU seniors began McKesson Scottsdale’s first internship class for that summer. Initially, McKesson hoped to have them rotate through a cybersecurity discipline the company operated in — such as operations, identity, software development and security automation. What ended up happening was much better for both the company and the interns.
