- The think-tank studio enables collaboration across all levels.
- Our entrepreneurial environment elevates interns, giving them a voice and, in turn, cultivating new leaders.
- Through educational programming and community-building events, interns can establish strong connections and natural mentoring relationships.
- We place a high value on knowledge sharing, allowing interns to find their niche and become experts.
- Our Professional Development Team assists our interns throughout the licensing process, giving them a vast network of in-house support.
