To Whom it May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that I find myself writing this letter of recommendation for Lorie
Penner.
Lorie was an outstanding summer student. She continually went above and beyond with all
things that were requested of her and continually met or exceeded performance standards in
her tasks.
In Lorie’s role at CAREERS, she worked very independently. She developed and conducted a -
survey for employers of off-campus students as well as created a volunteer package for
Middle School workshops.
She completed the survey with more than twice the number of employers required. Gleaning
information from conversations, she not only learned about how past students had done in
the programs, but also when employers may be ready to accept a new student. When there
had been issues with students, she was able to talk to the employer and better understand
that issue so we could prevent it from happening in the future.
Using information about CAREERS, research on our key objectives, and her own knowledge
from past experience and education, she was able to effectively complete a volunteer
package for Middle School workshops. We intend to implement this package going forward
and could have not have been prepared to do so without the great start she created us for us.
Lorie was a positive, dependable employee, who performed her duties in an extremely timely
and conscientious manner. She was invaluable to me this past summer, and I strongly feel
she would be an asset to others. If you’d like to discuss her attributes in more detail, please
don’t’ hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Holly Bilton, Regional Director Central Alberta
