Jan. 8, 2015<\/em> – Marco, Inc. has been selected as the North Dakota Young Professionals (NDYP) 2014 Best\u00a0Place to Intern and runner-up for the 2014 Best Place to Work. The awards are a reflection of the\u00a0creativity and innovation that businesses offer young professionals. \u201cThe NDYP Best Place to Intern\u00a0award honors businesses that make a serious commitment to investing in young professionals through\u00a0valuable internship opportunities,\u201d says Laurie Morse-Dell, NDYP Coordinator. \u201cMarco, Inc. is a superb\u00a0example of the type of quality internship experience that prepares young workers for professional success\u00a0and we are proud to recognize their dedication to young professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior Marco team members are not only committed to the young professionals in their office, but they\u00a0pay it forward by speaking to students at the University of North Dakota (UND) about how to build\u00a0essential skills for a successful career. It was during one of these presentations, by Chief Executive\u00a0Officer Jeff Gau and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Warrey, that Marco caught the attention of UND\u00a0student Nick Vitale. \u201cI found their presentation to be very informative and helpful, and their passion and\u00a0support of their employees put Marco on my radar, because I knew that was something I wanted to be a\u00a0part of. I researched the company and applied for their Operations Intern position,\u201d explains Vitale.<\/p>\n

Vitale believes his experience and knowledge gained through interning at Marco will give him an\u00a0advantage over his peers after graduation. Not only was he privileged to work closely alongside a variety\u00a0of mentors at the company, but he gained first-hand experience on real and relevant projects. He also\u00a0notes that \u201cOne of the most valuable takeaways from my internship was learning how to build\u00a0relationships with current and prospective clients and co-workers.\u201d Plus, Vitale says, \u201cMarco employees\u00a0know how to have fun at work!\u201d It\u2019s that best of both worlds experience \u2013 fun and hard work \u2013 that is\u00a0proving to be the most desired company culture for young professionals.<\/p>\n
