“Year 1 participation was all about ‘doing the right thing, a social good’…then we realized even if they don’t have an A+ on their academic record they know how to think and work through problems and have a lot of get up and go. From Year 2 it was all about getting great interns…they’ve all been exceptional individuals.”   Source: Employer focus groups and interviews, November 2018
