What they say about us
“I like the programs idea to deliver young and talented people to work across the world in different organizations. This arrangement benefits both the intern and the hosting organization. Furthermore, I am surprised how little bureaucracy is involved in the whole internship process.”

“We are very satisfied with the program and we found it mutually beneficial both for the intern and for our company. The program is very efficient, Adriana Mendes was very helpful and she responded very efficient to all the questions and requirements that we had.”
Sorin Stanescu - Lig Nanowise

“It was great to have some additional help but it was also a great opportunity to have some international perspective on what we are doing here in the US. Luis was a fresh pair of eyes and helped us develop some new initiatives. He was a terrific addition to our team. He was helpful, curious, and efficient. My only regret is that he wasn't here longer!”
