They are very hands-on and take mentorship seriously, so you will receive a lot of support, guidance, and training to gain the skills you need to get the job done. By the end of your internship, you will have developed tangible business skills that will help you get the most out of your final year(s) of university and set a meaningful foundation for your career post-graduation.
