“Working with IgnitingTalent is a great experience for my team to work with and to help shape the next generation’s workforce."
“I really enjoyed working with the IgnitingTalent team. It was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Even though there was an outline of what was expected for our intern, I was encouraged to give input. To top it off, our intern was delightful. We really enjoyed having her for a week. I would definitely be willing to partner with IgnitingTalent again in the future.”
“The first week, they got their hands dirty. We showed them once how to do something and they started doing it. By their second week, I started scheduling work for them solely so when they came in, they had their own jobs to do.”
