HUMBOLDT STORAGE AND MOVING’S IRISH EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Canton Company Doubles Program’s Crew

DATELINE: CANTON, MA, ISSUED OCTOBER 5, 2001… It was a second successful year for Humboldt Storage and Moving’s Cultural Exchange Program with Ireland this past summer. Humboldt recently said goodbye to the latest work crew of Irish exchange students from various universities in Ireland, that participated in the Canton company’s International Exchange Program. Humboldt Storage and Moving, the largest United Van Lines agent in the Greater Boston Area and based in Canton, MA.

Humboldt Storage and Moving’s summer Cultural Exchange Program, in its second year, enabled fifteen Irish students to gain employment as Crew Members with the company during their summer break from university. The popular program more than doubled in the number of students participating in program. Last year, the pilot program had four exchange students.

Ireland’s fifteen exchange students that met the educational requirements and possessed exemplary grades and work habits came from several of Ireland’s universities.

The participating students were:
John Minehane from Bantry, Ireland
Gearoid Corcoran from Ballinabearne, Ireland
Niall Purcell and John Spillane from Ballincollig, Ireland
Michael Mitchell from Galway, Ireland
Alan McClafferty and David Johnston from Shannon, Ireland
Michael Murphy, Gavin O’Donnell, Robert Downing and Michael Burke from Cork, Ireland
Barry Gray, Eoin Hurley and Brian Collins from Kinsale, Ireland

International Benefits
Due to a shortage of employees within relocation crews during summer months, Humboldt looked to the international market for help. The Cultural Exchange Program was developed with Ireland, thus aiding Humboldt during their summer “employment crisis”. In return, Irish exchange students were able to earn money throughout their summer employment for the upcoming college year.
   
“The Cultural Exchange Program benefits both of us,” said D’arcy Goldman, President of Humboldt Storage and Moving. She added, “Relocation usually always increases during the summer months. With our Cultural Exchange Program, we are able to obtain the additional help during the summer months, while enabling the exchange students to save money toward their education. The Irish crew did a great job.”

Currently, Humboldt has over 90 employees and offers a wide range of employee benefits to attract and retain motivated employees ranging from health and dental insurance, profit sharing and retirement programs to stress management, weight loss workshops and educational reimbursement programs.
