Today is National Intern Day! 🎉 At CSI, internships are more than temporary roles—they’re steppingstones. Many of our interns have transitioned into full-time employees, with some building careers here that are approaching 30 years. It’s part of our culture to invest in interns, offering training, mentorship, and an environment where they can grow and contribute in meaningful ways. We’re proud to celebrate Levi, who officially joined CSI full-time this month as a Videographer Level 1 after completing a successful internship. We’re excited to see his continued growth and creative impact. To our current interns—thank you for the value you bring to CSI. We’re committed to investing in your futures and helping you develop the skills and confidence to take the next step in your careers. #NationalInternDay #FromInternToCareer #WhoKnewStainlessWasSoMuchFun

Wishing Curtis Elkins a heartfelt Thank You for 28 years of dedication to CSI. Congratulations on your retirement! "I met Curtis in 1997 when we had an opportunity to have him join CSI. Curtis immediately understood the craftsmanship, pride, and innovation that my dad had instilled in CSI. He was able to relate to those values because he had been a fabrication craftsman before joining CSI. Curtis consistently displayed respect for the people he worked with, including customers and fellow employees. The people of CSI relied upon the commitment and dedication of Curtis in his role. Although he’s retiring, we are blessed that Curtis has been part of CSI — and always will be a part of our story." —Mark Cook, CEO
