The Shelly Company, an Oldcastle company, 2016 intern program started in June and ran through mid-August. It is designed for college students majoring in fields of study related to the construction building materials industry. Shelly management and team members provided them with real-life insights into the types of opportunities available across the diverse facets of the company.
The 11 interns had an in-depth exposure to a variety of departments — from maintenance to quality control, safety, community, planning, R&D and beyond — designed to help these students with an advantage of learning outside the text books.
“Our goal was to implement a quality program to exceed the typical summer internship and really engage these eager, talented young people, “said Ty Nofziger, president The Shelly Company. “More than just offering a paid summer position, this program brings these young people into our organization and provides them the opportunity to attain deep understanding about the company in a short timeframe.”
