It’s the proverbial “win-win” scenario.
Companies are hiring interns in ever-increasing numbers, giving a new generation of talented young people the opportunity to work under real world conditions and providing them with valuable hands-on experience. For the intern, this combination has proven to be a clear advantage in the post-graduation workplace, especially in a tough job market. On the other side of the equation, the company is able nurture the relevant skills – and the loyalty – of their future workforce. It’s no wonder there has been a 30 percent surge nationwide in the number of high school-aged interns since 2001!
As an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) company, Lampin is constantly working to develop a pool of skilled personnel with a deep desire to pursue a manufacturing career. Guided by this long-term strategy, Lampin recently offered internship positions to four highly-qualified local students from the Blackstone Valley region.
