Internship Partner Spotlight: Burns Industrial Equipment
At Burns Industrial Equipment, a family-owned business specializing in industrial equipment sales, rental, parts, and service, Nazareth Prep senior Jalen Rice is gaining experience in reception, new sales ordering, shipping/receiving, parts ordering, service dispatch, and accounting/IT/HR through four-week rotations in each of the company’s departments.
In each rotation, Jalen spends the first week shadowing a member of the department. For the remaining three weeks, he participates as a member of the team. In this way, Jalen experiences the full operations of the company, from sales call to order fulfillment.
“This experience has been transformative for both Jalen and our staff, reinforcing the value of mentorship and early career exposure,” said Tony Angotti, Vice President of Human Resources and Jalen’s mentor.
Nazareth Prep’s Internship Program, with the support of our dedicated partners like Burns Industrial Equipment, exposes students to workplaces in a variety of industries, providing one-on-one mentorship to develop skills that will help them succeed in the post-secondary pathway of their choice.
Burns provides critical tuition support to Nazareth Prep students through the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC).
