The program invites the top three engi- neering applicants to participate for an initial first-year internship. Then, based on their interest and performance, the students are potentially asked back for a second year. Once a student graduates from the program, Seco often presents an offer of employment at one of the company's several U.S. locations. Under the guidance of seasoned mentors, Seco interns experience a com- bination of classroom training and real- world business experience while earning their degree at FSU. Human resource generalist and head of Seco's internship program, Andrew Nalian, says. "One of our values is family spirit, and we want to make sure our students are taken care of and have all the tools they need to succeed. Because Seco takes care of everything, the students' parents don't worry about their son or daughter moving to a new city and having to locate and pay for housing. If the intern is participating in the second-year sales program, the parents don't need to worry about a car either, as a company car is provided." :: Seco Tools LLC 248-528-5200, secotools.com/us Sometimes it takes multiple tools to do a job right, and sometimes it takes just one – if that one is Form-A-Groove ® .
