Marine Corps & Albany State Celebrate 2026 Internship Cohort

Marine Corps Logistics Command (MCLC) and Albany State University held a capstone symposium to celebrate their spring 2026 internship cohort, marking a continued investment in developing the next generation of defense supply chain professionals. This partnership demonstrates the military's commitment to building a robust talent pipeline for logistics and supply chain roles within the Department of Defense.

For supply chain professionals, this announcement reflects a broader strategic initiative to address workforce shortages in specialized logistics roles, particularly within the defense sector. By embedding internship programs at academic institutions, MCLC is creating structured pathways for early-career talent to gain hands-on experience in complex military supply chain operations while building institutional knowledge and capability.

The capstone symposium format suggests a mature program with measurable outcomes and professional development components. This approach—combining academic rigor with real-world logistics challenges—sets a template that other government and private-sector logistics organizations could replicate to address talent pipeline challenges in an increasingly technical supply chain environment.
