Language Services Associates (LSA) welcomed DeAndre Butler and Ja-Neen Slaughter, students at the Chester Charter Scholars Academy, for its five-week Academic Honors Internship Program.
The two students worked closely with LSA personnel across many of its departments, including Accounting, IT, Marketing, and Compliance, while learning about LSA’s many service lines and operations.
“Working with each department has been a very enlightening and fun experience. I’ve learned how to use Microsoft, how marketing works, what goes into making company products, and many other things,” Ja-Neen shared with us. “I enjoyed learning about all these things during my time with LSA. Each department had a fun, yet educational activity prepared to go with each thing I learned.”
The LSA Academic Honors Internship is awarded to high school students who show great academic achievement, and a passion for languages and using them to help people. It provides an opportunity for students to gain real world work experience working with a professional language service provider.
“It was such a pleasure to have Ja-Neen and DeAndre as interns for our 2024 Academic Honors Internship Program,” said Erica Banks, Program Manager, Community Engagement & Relations. “They’re two exceptionally talented students with a great work ethic and promising futures.”
“I truly felt welcomed by everyone at LSA thanks to how friendly and helpful the people were,” Ja-Neen added. “LSA truly does care for its employees and have a tight-knit bond that is unbreakable, and that is my absolute favorite thing about interning for this company. I hope to come back next summer to work for them.”
“Giving back to the community is fundamental to what we do,” said Francis J. Convery, Chief Administrative Officer at LSA, “and the opportunity to offer such ambitious students the chance to learn about our interpretation services and how we deliver them is an honor.”
