Monarc's Intern Program started in 1993, when a student from Coventry
University in the UK turned up at Monarc's office during the Easter
Break and asked if he could work for us during the summer.
Monarc took on this first student, who proved to be a great asset,
and from that single experience, Monarc has continued to offer positions
to domestic and foreign students to work with Monarc for a year to learn
and expand their construction industrial experience knowledge.
The major source of student interns is Leeds Metropolitan University
in the UK. Here, the College Professor, David Pearce, was trained with
Monarc's President, John Bellingham, through an Industrial Training
Scheme run by George Wimpey, one of the world's largest contractors.
Monarc recognizes that the need for education and well-trained staff
are requirements to operate and run a successful construction company.
Through its contacts with Leeds University and other international
universities, Monarc helps place students for 1 year to 18 months with
local construction companies. These firms include Sigal Construction,
Tompkins Builders and McCollough Construction.
Monarc now employs students recently graduated from East Michigan
University and Wentworth Institute of Technology.
The need for practical training in the construction industry is one
of the industry's biggest challenges, and through its Intern Program,
Monarc Construction is doing its part to improve the industry.
