The Allen Lund Company is pleased to welcome back our Verbum Dei High School Interns to ALC HQ. This is the 14th year ALC has partnered with the Verbum Dei High School Work Study program. ALC has developed a program that gives students the chance to develop important job training skills and experience with tasks in each of our departments to help build upon their education process. Verbum Dei students will have the opportunity to job share and participate in learning from departments and gain exposure to company culture.
Assistant Manager, HR Carrie Petersen commented, “After almost two years of absence, it’s great having our Verbum Dei students back working alongside our employees at headquarters. When they last worked for us, they were in 9th and 10th grade. Now, they have matured into juniors and seniors and jumped right back into their roles, happy to be back (safely) in the workplace.”
“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. We look forward to seeing their smiles, behind the masks, and hearing how their classes are going. And for our seniors, learning about their college acceptances, in anticipation of the school’s Commitment Day Ceremony in May. These are just a few of the things we have missed the past two years.”
Welcome back Verbum Dei!
The signature component of Verbum Dei High School is the Corporate Work Study Program, a national educational model in which businesses invest in student workers to make college-preparatory education possible for students with economic need. This unique program allows businesses to fill entry-level clerical positions with no overhead, and it provides students with the ability to earn a significant portion of the cost of their private, college-preparatory education and the opportunity to gain professional work experience.
