Philosophy :

The amount of patience and time it takes to teach someone with very little experience would never equate to an experienced professional (over 2+years) because the skills and ability is nowhere near that of a seasoned professional; this is why we teach what you don’t know and that takes time. Most other internships do not take that one on one time. We don’t take any intern to replace an employee because they just don’t posses the skills period!
