Lulu Conyers is shining in her work-based learning internship at Michael’s Barkery on Daniel Island, a local pet spa, boutique, and bakery. This internship allows Lulu to gain hands-on experience in the pet-care industry, which directly aligns with her post-secondary goals.

Through her work at Michael’s Barkery, Lulu is learning about pet care and nutrition, as well as the process of baking, packaging, and selling dog and cat treats. She is also developing important employability skills by working as part of a team in a small business setting, where collaboration, communication, and responsibility are essential.

Lulu brings a positive attitude and strong work ethic to her internship each week. We are proud of the growth she continues to demonstrate and grateful to Michael’s Barkery for providing such a meaningful learning opportunity.
