Luis - one of our Work-Study stars

For the past several years, Lexicon has been working with the Rockdale County Public School System in the Student Apprenticeship Program based in the Rockdale Career Academy. Basically, we've hired students from the local high schools to work at Lexicon and learn the basics of electronics repair, as well as what it is like to be an actual employee at a real company. It's been kind of cool to have a few younger employees! At one point we even had a good chunk of the Rockdale County High School Wrestling Team working either on the repair floor or on the loading dock!

The program has worked great, giving the kids an important job to do after school, not to mention a paycheck, and has helped familiarize them with the business world. Now, when Lexicon work study employees go to the grocery store, a concert, or Blockbuster, they spot any number of scanners or enterprise mobility devices that they have worked on. Some examples include the Symbol SPT 1800's, MC 9060's, or even Metrologic MS7120's, which some of our student-employees spotted at LA Fitness last week. Their experience at Lexicon has helped make them aware of how technology is employed all around us in our daily lives.
