International interns settle in

Perhaps you already met a few of our international interns in Jorgensen Plaza. If not, we’d like to introduce you to a few new faces.

Six interns began working at Western Home Communities in August in our hospitality positions. That includes food and beverage (event staff, wait staff, dishwashing, service), culinary (cooking, kitchen operations) and front desk (customer service). Nine more arrived the week of Aug. 15.  

In order to take part, J-1 interns must be enrolled in a post-secondary college, university or training program, or they must have completed such a program within the past year. They’ll work at Western Home Communities for one year through the U.S. State Department’s Exchange Visitor Program.

Everyone is working hard learning their new positions at regular orientation and training sessions, and getting acclimated to living in Cedar Falls. Be sure to give all our new employees a warm welcome!
