National Intern Day, celebrated on the last Thursday of July, is dedicated to recognizing and appreciating the efforts and contributions of interns across various industries. Interns often play a crucial role in the workplace, bringing fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a willingness to learn.  Internships should not be limited to mere administrative tasks; they should offer meaningful, hands-on experiences that contribute to the intern's professional growth.

CalPortland Intern Week continues! Internships contribute to a more dynamic and competitive workforce. They help ensure that the next generation of professionals is well-prepared to meet the demands of the job market. This, in turn, supports economic growth and innovation, as companies are staffed with individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also adaptable and forward-thinking. By investing in internship programs, CalPortland plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our industry, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development that benefits everyone involved.

It's that time of year when Calportland likes to recognize our hardworking interns! Internships play a pivotal role in the professional development of students and recent graduates, offering a bridge between academic learning and the practical application of skills in a real-world setting. These opportunities allow individuals to gain hands-on experience in their chosen fields, providing invaluable insights that cannot be acquired through textbooks alone. By working alongside seasoned professionals, interns can observe industry best practices, understand workplace dynamics, and develop a clearer sense of their career aspirations. This experiential learning is crucial in helping young professionals make informed decisions about their future career paths. Stay tuned throughout the week as we post more intern bios!

Did you know? Aggregates, which include materials such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone, play a crucial role in the built environment. These materials serve as the foundational elements in construction, forming the backbone of concrete, asphalt, and other composite materials. The inclusion of aggregates in construction not only enhances the strength and durability of structures but also contributes to the overall stability of roads, bridges, and buildings. By providing a solid base, aggregates help distribute loads evenly, reducing the risk of structural failures and extending the lifespan of infrastructure.

Let us celebrate the glory of our nation today, and every day, by embracing the spirit of freedom and independence. May we always remember the sacrifices of our forefathers and strive to make our country a beacon of hope and prosperity for all.

It’s a challenge to fit the entirety of the cement making process in a 60 second clip, but Boot Barn highlighted CalPortland’s most valuable asset, our employees! Special thanks goes out to our Mojave cement plant for their willingness to make this vision a reality!
