LHRMA Thanks 2016 Champion Employers

The Lincoln Human Resource Management Association (LHRMA) (lincolnhr.org) wishes to extend a sincere thank you to the following Champion Employers who participated in its 2016 1st Job-Lincoln program: Ameritas, Assurity Life Insurance Company, Cabela’s, Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, Nebraska Department of Labor, Republic Parking System, Tabitha Health Care, UNL-College of Business Administration, and UNL-Information Technology Services.

Since its launch in 2013, 1st Job-Lincoln has sought out Champion Employers to champion the way for our community’s youth to create opportunities for them to acquire a professional on-the-job experience while in high school. To date, 1st Job-Lincoln has partnered with 24 Champion Employers who helped pave the way for our community’s high school students to gain valuable real-life work experience in the information technology (IT) field. Unlike other typical summer jobs for teens, 1st Job-Lincoln’s paid internships give students an opportunity to explore a career in the IT field for which they may not otherwise be able to access as a high school student.

Secondly, 1st Job-Lincoln provides employers an opportunity to tap into up-and-coming talent from which to draw upon in the future. Early identification of the talent pipeline, and keeping that talent in Lincoln, is important.

Champion Employers, thank you for helping to make LHRMA’s 1st Job-Lincoln program a success in our community! For more information about LHRMA or 1st Job-Lincoln, visit: lincolnhr.org/1st-job-lincoln or www.facebook.com/1stJobLincoln.
