A recent LVC graduate and former student-athlete secured her full-time placement at Clark Associates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alyssa Yoder graduated in December with a degree in business administration. Yoder not only worked hard in the classroom but also on the field where she participated on the women\u2019s soccer and golf teams.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoder touched on her time spent as the captain of the soccer team and her study abroad experience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecoming a captain of my soccer team and studying abroad pushed me to step out of my comfort zone while working on my leadership skills,\u201d she said. \u201cAlthough I had to be very disciplined and work hard, I was still able to enjoy the social aspect of college.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoder was first introduced to LVC when she was recruited to play soccer. She was attracted to the smaller college feel and wanted the ability to balance athletics and schoolwork. Yoder took advantage of many opportunities and would be a great inspiration for students looking to get more involved during their time spent at LVC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, LVC has been recognized for its connections and opportunities for job placement. LVC has been able to foster a close partnership with Clark Associates which has provided a handful of alumni with full-time job offers. Clark Associates is located in Lancaster and provides distribution and manufacturing for restaurants as well as food service equipment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoder is now a vendor analyst where she provides market analyses to determine buying decisions while also building relationships with vendors and negotiating prices. Prior to her graduation, she landed an internship with Regupol America in which she completed data analytics for the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finishing her internship, she continued her job search in procurement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have always enjoyed data analytics and found interest in market research and forecasting,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoder is eager to finish her training period but still enjoying her time spent in the office. She describes her typical day in which she catches up with inventory discrepancies, deals with product issues, orders inventory, forecast future business decisions, deals with vendors and seeks out competitor pricing and products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best part of my job is the company culture and people,\u201d she said. \u201cThe flexible work schedule, dog-friendly office, fitness center, food, benefits and company-sponsored events also make the work enjoyable.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If students are interested in learning more about Clark Associates and future opportunities, the Breen Center will host an Etiquette Dinner on Thursday, Feb. 16, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sign-ups are available on Handshake. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
