Student Achievements
June 30, 2022
In April, Lakewood High School (LHS) partnered with MPW Industrial Services (“MPW”) to offer three paid internships to juniors at Lakewood High School. MPW has now hired three LHS rising senior students to fill the internship roles. The students began their internships in the last couple of weeks and will work 12 hours per week for the next 30 weeks.
Jim Tyznik, Director of Corporate Human Resources for MPW, said, “We received many applications from great candidates for these three internships, and we’re excited to get started with the interns chosen. We hope to provide an educational and inspiring experience for these three young people, while possibly validating their potential career plans. We’ll also be evaluating them for a possible future full-time employment with us.”
