Clayton inspections intern Parker Mann reflects on learning and local ties
Summary
Parker Mann, an intern with the Town of Clayton Inspections Department, spoke on National Interns Day about growing up five minutes from town, attending Clayton High School, and using the internship to learn about construction and community safety.
Parker Mann, an intern with the Town of Clayton Inspections Department, said during a National Interns Day observance that he applied for the internship because he "grew up 5 minutes away" and wanted hands-on experience in construction.
Mann said the internship "means to me growing my knowledge of construction," adding that he is "really trying to take it all in and learn what I can." He identified himself as a local who attended Clayton High School and said he has lived in Clayton his whole life.
Speaking about the office culture, Mann said disagreements in the department tend to focus on safety: "And if it is, it's about keeping the community safe." He emphasized mentorship as central to his learning, saying he learns best with "someone in my ear telling me what's right and what's wrong."
His remarks were part of a brief National Interns Day acknowledgment at the Town of Clayton Inspections Department. No formal actions or departmental announcements accompanied the comments.
