What do an energy delivery company and a high school student have in common? They’re both committed to a brighter future.
As community relations manager with CenterPoint Energy, I see that working with Genesys Works to close the skills gap has been a true win-win. By offering high school students real-world experience through an internship at our company, we are giving back to the communities where we live and work while building our talent pipeline. In fact, several of our interns have come back to work for us as contractors or full-time employees during or after college.
As a direct supervisor for some Genesys Works interns, it’s also more than just the obvious return on investment for Gomez. “Getting to mentor these interns and foster leadership skills really improves the overall work environment for our team,” she said.
