The Garrett Companies focus on multi family development, construction and property management. Seven people on staff started out as interns, and more are coming.

GREENWOOD — In the current job market, one Greenwood-based business knows it needs to stand out to attract top talent in a high demand industry.

"But the reality is we are building homes for people," said Larson."And people will always need a place to live." Larson says they take a very holistic approach, where interns won't sit behind a cubicle doing various tasks throughout the day. Interns are involved in all aspects of the company, so she says it is perfect for students who aren't exactly sure what they want to do after school. Plus, the company offers a number of opportunities for professional development and fun.

Riley Shives, a part-time corporate accountant with Garrett Companies, started his journey as an intern and will step on full-time with the business after he completes school.
