Delta Star Named: 2026 Top Employer for Interns

(Lynchburg, VA – April 1, 2026) – Delta Star, an industry-leading manufacturer of power transformers and mobile substations, today announced it has been recognized as a 2026 “Top Employer for Interns” by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), honoring organizations that provide exceptional work-integrated learning experiences for students across the Commonwealth of Virginia.

This prestigious designation highlights Delta Star’s ongoing commitment to developing future talent through meaningful, hands-on internship opportunities that bridge the gap between education and the workforce. It is the second consecutive year the organization has received this prestigious award.

“We’re honored to receive this recognition from SCHEV,” said Sherry Stone, vice president of Human Resources for Delta Star. “Our internship program is a critical part of how we invest in the next generation, providing real-world experience, mentorship, and opportunities for students to make a tangible impact. This award reflects the dedication of our teams across the Commonwealth who make those experiences possible every day.”

A Delta Star internship is designed to go beyond observation, allowing students to integrate into teams, contribute to meaningful projects, and gain firsthand experience solving real business challenges. Interns work alongside experienced professionals, receive structured mentorship, and are encouraged to bring fresh perspectives that drive innovation across the organization.

“Our interns are not just learners, they’re contributors. We’re intentional about creating an environment where students can apply what they’ve learned, take ownership of their work, and see the real impact they can have,” said Stone.

Through these efforts, Delta Star continues to strengthen the connection between education and industry, helping students transition from the classroom to a career while building a strong pipeline of emerging talent.

SCHEV’s Top Employer for Interns award celebrates organizations that demonstrate excellence in: offering structured, high-quality internship programs, providing mentorship and professional development, and creating pathways from education to meaningful careers.
