Meet Destiny. Destiny has been with Harlan for over 5 years and works at our Irvington, Indiana facility. Destiny recently was promoted to a Champion Level Mentor where she works with new employees, who are called 'Apprentices' to ensure they are successful during their 90 day food manufacturing internship.
After the first two weeks of paid, on the job training, every single Apprentice is assigned their own Mentor, like Destiny. The Mentor's primary role is to help Apprentices be successful and find happiness in what they are doing as they learn their new roles.
After successfully completing the Mentorship program, Apprentices are able to earn their AFP certification as soon as 90 days from when they are hired. When an Apprentice achieves their AFP certification, they receive an IMMEDIATE pay increase!
How does this make our employees feel? Here is Johnson after he received his AFP certification. He looks pretty happy!
As a Mentor, Destiny can earn $500 for each Apprentice she works during their 90-day Mentorship program. That can add up to a $6,000 in bonus pay each year!
Destiny recently shared, "I love helping my Apprentice team mates become happy and successful here. It's very rewarding to me to be able to work with them each day and see them grow in their new roles. When I am able to help them graduate and achieve their AFP Certification, it is so worth it. They get a very important industry certification for free and a pay increase to go along with it! What's not to love about that?!"

Being a mentor is open to all Harlan employees who have been with the company for a year and have passed both their AFP Certification as well as their Champion Mentor Certification.
What would you do this holiday season if you knew you'd be making up to an additional $6,000 per year just by helping others?
