Visionary Fiber Technologies (VFT) internships are three months in duration with the possibility of successive internships. We provide college students the opportunity to experience VFT’s culture, work with senior management to gain academic and professional experience, all while receiving competitive internship compensation. VFT is a start-up B-to-B technology company that is commercializing Fiber Reactor (“FR”) technology out of its headquarters in Lockhart, TX. This technology will enhance and improve manufacturing environments by increasing the efficiency of existing refining operation utilizing two-phase processes. FR technology allows chemistry and the separation of reaction products to occur simultaneous, thus increasing manufacturing throughput and reducing costs.
FR technology also addresses the global need for increased food production in order to meet global population growth. This need is compounded by declining agricultural land due to development. Additionally, FR technology allows the transformation of waste products into food or substrates for clean energy production.
