“Our team has benefitted in a number of key ways (from hosting an IAESTE intern). Velina has truly become an important member of the team who we depend on everyday …Additionally, the IAESTE program truly matched us with a talented and proactive intern, who we learn from as much as she learns from us! She also brings important experience to the table, both in terms of her skill set and her professional demeanor…The experience has been rewarding not only for the business but also for each employee that interacts with Velina on a daily basis. We all learn from each other and I think our collaboration has had a strong benefit to everyone involved.”

A win-win situation that has been building a pipeline of successful individuals and potential great employees…Our interns have proven to be remarkably helpful with projects and tasks that we are struggling to complete. The extra sets of hands help our employees be more productive, prevent them from becoming overburdened by side projects, as well as free them up to accomplish more creative tasks or those where higher-level, strategic thinking or expertise is required”
