Six interns from Central High School, Elgin High School, Larkin High School, and St. Charles East High School begin manufacturing rotational internships at Hoffer Plastics
Since day one of Alignment’s conception, the Hoffer Family has been at the table encouraging local school districts and the business community to work more strongly together helping Alignment and the region’s school districts build partnerships across the greater Elgin area. As a result of these partnerships, Alignment has advanced the organization from serving less than 5,000 students in 2021 to over 15,000 students in 2026, growing business and community partnerships.
Hoffer Plastics was also at the table early in the building of the summer internship program. The company offered the first engineering and manufacturing rotational internship for students to experience firsthand, advanced manufacturing processes within the plastic injection molding industry. Having served for a decade on Alignment’s Governing Board, Hoffer has contributed its corporate leadership to benefit Alignment’s work in the schools shaping a future workforce that will allow the greater Elgin economy to thrive for the next decade.
