Employer Hires Intern After Program Completion
By: Ray Justice, Brabon Justice International, LLC
“We have hired a former intern, Graham Wilcox, to work with us on a regular basis.
While still a senior in high school we have found him to be a valuable asset to our website development company. He is friendly, dependable and focused. We have him writing content and doing set up work for several clients including the U.S. Army site at Fort Drum.
This morning we went to an awards breakfast at West Irondequoit High School where he received the Work Study Student of the Year Award.
Whatever you do for preparation of interns really shows in their attitudes and interest level.”
We love this program.
Thank you.
