“This was the first internship I have done, and since I am studying management, I thought this opportunity would not necessarily help develop skills in my field of study, but I was wrong, and encourage everyone to definitely apply!”

-Former Intern

“Throughout the internship, an intern has 24/7 advice and help available. I gained a lot of knowledge, further developed my skills, and gained valuable experience. The program itself is well organized, with weekly meetings that consisted of advancing your teamwork skills [and] time management.”
