One 学生 Journey From Internship to Employee
'He went to work Monday morning, only to find that everything had closed down. ...He teleworked just to get some experience.'
奥古斯塔 Technical College 2020 GOAL Winner, SkillsUSA Georgia Postsecondary State Officer and State Medalist, and soon-to-be graduate of the Design and Media Production Technology program, Rah’Mere Williams had it all going for him. He was wrapping up an amazing year in college, on the hunt for his second GA State SkillsUSA medal. 2020 was going to be his year.
Then came COVID-19, and everything Rah’Mere had worked toward came to a crashing halt.
As he made the trek home from his last SkillsUSA Georgia Postsecondary Leadership Conference, he was due to start as an intern graphic designer the next week, 他梦想的工作是什么. He went to work Monday morning, only to find that everything had closed down. Everyone was working from home. He teleworked just to get some experience. Then 他的雇主 decided to cut the hours of his full-time employees.
So, Rah’Mere reached out to another marketing firm in town. He explained his situation and asked if he could help them in anyway. 他们同意了!
Rah’Mere is the newest employee at Showpony, an 奥古斯塔, Georgia, branding and merchandise company. Showpony launched the #We给AShirt campaign to support local businesses by selling T-shirts and providing them a portion of the profits. The company’s co-owner 肖恩·穆尼 said the company makes a lot of T-shirts, so it decided to provide an online method to manage sales, 处理, production and distribution to help out their friends and neighbors in downtown 奥古斯塔. The very successful campaign has raised in excess of $170,000 for businesses. Rah’Mere is right in the middle of all those t-shirts. 他设计t恤, 他拿起t恤, 他叠t恤, 他卖t恤, 他送t恤. 拉米尔喜欢t恤. Actually, what Rah’Mere loves is designing and working at Showpony. Most of all, he loves that his hard work is finally paying off.
肖恩·穆尼, 他的雇主, is also an 奥古斯塔 Technical College Design and Media Production Technology graduate. He was also an active member of SkillsUSA Georgia Postsecondary, 国家奖章获得者, 和一个国家奖章获得者. 巧合? 根据拉米尔的说法不是这样的. It’s just the result of his education and experience at 奥古斯塔 Technical College.
