Quote

“In the past we have had the opportunity to witness interns work with soccer teams whether it was training with them or working as a physical therapist. Interns have worked side by side with famous fashion studios and designers, assisted in art galleries, museums, and this is all with the great help of our partnered internship agency here in Florence. It is a great thing to be a part of.”
