Maer Ben-Yisrael, Director of Technology at Ecole Bilingue de Berkeley and a CTP Board Member, shares why hosting CTP graduates as interns has been such a valuable experience.

Internships aren’t just about giving someone an opportunity to gain work experience. They also bring new people, perspectives, skills, and ideas into the workplace.

CTP partners with businesses and organizations to provide graduates with opportunities to apply their skills, build confidence, and gain real-world experience, while employers gain motivated interns who bring their own strengths and perspectives to the team.
