Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) hosts School District U-46 high school students for a one-week, paid civil engineering internship.
Earlier this month, HLR welcomed twelve high school students from School District U-46 for a one-week, paid internship to learn more about the various disciplines of civil engineering. Interns had the opportunity to spend time with different departments and staff at HLR, both in the field and in the office, to learn more about a variety of topics and what a future career in the industry may look like. Topics included: traffic engineering, materials testing, CAD/corridor modeling, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), water/wastewater engineering, design engineering, construction engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering, and land surveying.
The internships were arranged by the Alignment Collaborative for Education in collaboration with School District U-46 leaders. The Alignment is a collective impact organization of business and community leaders working in partnership with U-46 to support District priorities. Alignment also supports the District’s plan to bring college and career pathways to all U-46 high schoolers with a special committee, or “A-Team,” focused on that work and the effort to produce a qualified future workforce eager to live and work within their communities.
Over 50 students are participating in paid internship programs this summer as a result of 18 Alignment business and community partners making these opportunities possible. The paid internships are sponsored by Kane County Region 110 CTE Programs, Elgin Township, and local host employers.
Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) is honored to be able to provide these learning opportunities for the next generation of engineers, scientists, and surveyors!
