Internship Program

“My introduction to the LaFontaine Automotive Group was through a previous intern who began working with the group in 2018. When accepted into their internship program I was fully immersed in each department. 3 years later, I am still with the family, working as the Sales Manager for Lafontaine Lincoln at our Flushing dealership. I am grateful for the family and my many mentors who continue to invest and help me develop my abilities. Excited for the future.”

“The LaFontaine Internship Program was the catalyst to starting an exciting career in a field I am very passionate about. After I graduated, I joined LaFontaine Automotive Group as a service advisor at their LaFontaine Cadillac Buick GMC dealership in Highland. Beyond what I do on a day-to-day basis, what is most exciting for me at LaFontaine Automotive Group are the opportunities to truly grow and develop a career. The management team is very encouraging and is always there to provide guidance. They provide a roadmap for my career and I am looking forward to what the future holds for me at LaFontaine.”

“I chose to join the LaFontaine Internship program because I had heard many great things about the internship and organization from classmates and peers. Prior to beginning here, I had little to no knowledge or background of the automotive industry. I learned the in’s and out’s of every department within the dealership, and the kind of company LaFontaine is — via Customer testimonial and personal experience. This made me confident that LaFontaine was/is a forward thinking company with many opportunities for growth! After the internship program, and finishing up my schooling at Northwood University, I was offered a sales role at Lafontaine Ford of Birch Run and I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this great Family!

“I joined the LaFontaine Internship Program during my last year of college. I wanted to gain a better understanding of marketing in a professional setting. I expected to observe the day-to-day operations of an automotive company. I expected to witness marketing efforts first-hand. What I did not expect was to be able to actually contribute to the company through projects and hands-on work. I didn’t expect to be trusted with responsibility throughout the entire program. I did not expect to be treated like a real member of the family. I had heard from past interns about how incredible this internship program is, but I didn’t really understand until I went through the program myself. You are more than just an intern. You are a valued member of the company. I have connected with many employees from all different departments in at LaFontaine and have been given the opportunity to learn from them. The marketing team welcomed me and gave me the ability to expand my knowledge. I didn’t expect to be offered a permanent position with LaFontaine, but I am ever grateful for it. This team, this company, this family is where I belong. Thank you, LaFontaine Automotive Group!”

“My experience with LaFontaine began in 2022, when I was able to join the corporate rotational internship program. I had very little experience in the automotive industry, but I ended up enjoying the program so much that I was able to return the following year and pursue my passion in marketing and videography in a more specialized digital marketing and production role. This launched my career as a digital marketing specialist, which allows me to develop my skills in content creation, analytics, and all things marketing. There’s so many different opportunities to seek out at LaFontaine, and I am grateful that I am able to hone in my strengths and passions and continue on a career path that I was best suited to succeed in. Throughout my time with Lafontaine I’ve had the chance to learn and grow from a substantial number of coworkers and supervisors whom I now consider my mentors and family. I’m truly grateful for what the future holds here at LaFontaine!”

“My experience with the LaFontaine family began with a May 2022 internship. I was provided a true hands on experience and gained a lot of knowledge of the automotive industry through this program which sparked my interest to be an official part of the LaFontaine family. I was able to specialize in the Cadillac brand and become the Cadillac Brand Specialist for our highland location. My degree is Innovative Marketing and Business Management. I graduated in May 2023 and I am the Cadillac Brand Specialist for our Highland location.”
