Shane Sewall is the first recipient to win the First Annual Apangea Learning Intern Award. He was an intern for Apangea Learning during his senior year at Northside Urban Pathways Charter School (NUP) for the 2006-2007 school year. Today, he is a freshman at Kent State University and is the first and only of his family or friends to attend college.
“Being the CEO of a high growth company, I am very aware of how important each employee, including our interns, is to the over all success of Apangea Learning,” explained Apangea Learning CEO Louis Piconi. “Shane is a very hardworking and extremely dedicated young man. There was no doubt that he should be the recipient for our First Annual Apangea Learning Intern Award.”
Headquartered in downtown Pittsburgh, Apangea Learning’s internship program exclusively recruits from inner-city high schools. This program is designed to expose urban youths to a business environment in hopes that this experience creates a bridge that leads them from high school to college and beyond.
“Many students growing up in an urban environment face numerous challenges on a daily basis that most of us in the business world can’t begin to comprehend,” expressed Piconi. “Our internship program helps these kids understand why it so important to continue their education and how it will vastly expand the opportunities they have in life.”
