EMPLOYER SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: HOME DEPOT
Home Depot is the world’s largest home improvement retailer with locations in all U.S. states and territories, Canada and Mexico. They are devoted to providing students with the tools and necessities needed for their future.
By striving to reinvent the customer experience, Home Depot provides partnerships and service projects that help strengthen the foundations of communities.
Weddie Gabriel is a sophomore psychology student and retail researcher through a partnership with Paragon One with Home Depot. He is a part of a select group of historically Black college and university students ranging from Morehouse to Florida A&M.
Gabriel describes his experience with the company as inspiring, especially since he did not realize just how strong of an impact it would have on both his career and everyday life.
“I gained experience from this opportunity like none other I have received during my college career,” he said. “I've gained experience with professional research, and I've learned how to project myself through my work [and] that being professional can still reflect my own ideals and interests.”
