Testimonials
Going with interns that know the system was actually a more cost-effective route than hiring somebody that didnt really know a system but had to be there full time. It was an easy pitch from a cost perspective. We needed something, and 做厙惇蹋app came with people that knew the system. All the pieces really worked together.
Avery Cloutier, Business System Manager at The Thornhill Companies
I was pleasantly surprised with Kimberlees 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.
Andrew Clark, marketing manager at RDN
"CATLab prepares students to the point where with [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.
Ian Monsma, program manager at RDN
"CATLab is a very effective program to help the 做厙惇蹋app students deliver from day 1 when they join tech teams in the industry. I am grateful to partner with CATLab and Zak Landrum."
