Allen Lund Company Welcomes Back Verbum Dei Interns; Matt Barnes and Carrie Petersen Comment
LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - A partnership is continuing to be fostered with the restart of a long-time program. The Allen Lund Company (ALC) recently welcomed back its Verbum Dei High School interns to ALC headquarters.
“We have had such great success in the past with our Verbum Dei interns, and this year we have an exceptionally bright, engaging group of students,” Director of Human Resources Matt Barnes stated. “One of the most rewarding aspects of this partnership is to watch them grow and expand their horizons during their time at Allen Lund Company, and then to have them keep in touch and update us on their journey through college and into the professional world.”
This is the 15th year ALC has partnered with the Verbum Dei High School Work Study program. ALC, along with Verbum Dei, have developed a program that gives students the chance to learn important job training skills and obtain experience with tasks in each of its departments to help build upon their education process.
According to the release, Verbum Dei students will have the opportunity to job share and participate in learning across departments and gain exposure to company culture.
“A typical day at ALC HQ will be spent gaining hands-on work experience in the Carrier Resources department finding missing bills or conducting online research and interacting with other departments on other projects, and helping with daily tasks,” Assistant Manager of Human Resources Carrie Petersen commented. “We look forward to getting to know our sophomores and juniors, growing their office experience, and hearing about their classes and involvement on campus. For our senior, it is rewarding to learn about his college application and acceptance experience, in anticipation of the school’s Commitment Day Ceremony in May.”
Here’s to another fruitful and accomplishing year!
