What people are saying
I appreciate BRI because the program is very well designed. Mentors help plan in detail what participants will learn, practise and manage as projects over six months. We hope that by the end of the sixth month they will have enough experience and skills to enter the workforce.
At BRI, interns do not merely observe. They are given the opportunity to be directly involved in work, learn alongside mentors, and understand how the knowledge gained during their education is applied in the workplace.
