The knowledge gained contributes to career development while the experience provides insight on the wide variety of jobs in the transportation industry.

    Financial Affairs (Accounting) has designed a new and exciting program for interns at Metra by developing a rotation-based curriculum that allows the student to experience all aspects of accounting operations to include Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Financial Reporting, Fixed Asset Accounting, General Accounting, Payroll and Revenue Accounting; the program offers an Internal Audit period as well for those interested. The internship is designed to give the student an overall view of the accounting operation so that they may prepare for their next steps after graduation.
