Notable Quotes (3)
This program is incredible. Completely changed my life and allowed me to build a resume like no other.
Research has shown that 40% of internships are unpaid. And studies have also shown that students that participate in an internship program often get higher starting salaries and better jobs.
We understand that many of you may not know what it's like to live with a disability, and we do, and we can marry those and provide a hand holding and assistance to help make sure that we have the best and most inclusive policies.
