It gave me insight into what the company was truly like which made me feel confident in accepting a full-time job offer. If I had gone through a typical interview process at a company this large, it would have been much harder to know what I was actually getting myself into. Interning prior made my transition to a new job easy.”Lanier T. | Arborist Apprentice and Former InternFAQSInternship FAQsHow long is the internship program?This is a 10 week program that starts May 31st and ends on August 9th.Is this a paid internship?Yes!
