LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - The Allen Lund Company (ALC) is continuing to invest in the future by taking on four high school student interns for the 2015-2016 year as part of its ongoing partnership with Verbum Dei High School’s Corporate Work Study Program (CWPS).
“Being a part of the corporate work study program with Verbu Dei is rewarding in so many ways,” Pamela Koerber, Human Resources Coordinator for ALC, said in a press release. “These young men gain valuable work experience and are treated just like our regular work employees, becoming a part of the Allen Lund Company family.”
This marks the ninth year that ALC has partnered with Verbum Dei High, giving students entry-level clerical jobs at ALC’s headquarters where they work five full days a month on a rotational basis. According to the company, the program allows them to gain real-world work experience within its Carrier Resources, Marketing, Human Resources and Sales Departments while still carrying a full academic load.
The company has seen great success with the practice, according to the release, having hired back several students that have participated to come back and work during school breaks and as interns during the summer.
