For others, it’s less about the choice as much as it is about building skills in multiple areas.

“I chose the rotational program because of the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities in multiple departments, and experiment with different skill sets,” shared Amy Sung, Rotational Associate at Optoro, a reverse logistics technology company. “That kind of knowledge transfer and potential for growth is not as accessible in traditional jobs.”

Another reason millennials may choose a rotational program over a traditional job is if they are in pursuit of job satisfaction. Young adults today are unwilling to sacrifice 40 hours each week to a job they don’t enjoy.
