Testimonials
鈥淕oing with interns that know the system was actually a more cost-effective route than hiring somebody that didn鈥檛 really know a system but had to be there full time. It was an easy pitch from a cost perspective. We needed something, and 黑料百科 came with people that knew the system. All the pieces really worked together.鈥
鈥擜very Cloutier, Business System Manager at The Thornhill Companies
鈥淚 was pleasantly surprised with Kimberlee鈥檚 ability to work on her own. I felt like we were able to get her up to speed on the projects, and she could run with it...To be able to have an intern who can work in a different city and be productive and be a self-motivated worker was really impressive.鈥
鈥擜ndrew Clark, marketing manager at RDN
"CATLab prepares students to the point where 鈥渨ith [their] skill sets right out of college, [they] could come in for an internship for a few months and change how we do business in a very transformative way.鈥
