    Testimonials

    • Our experience with these students has been overwhelmingly positive. Both our interns were diligent in their work and dedicated to learning and achieving their assigned tasks. They excelled beyond expectations we had for a high school student.

      Michael Vitch, President, Compu-Mail

    • Having David work for us was a fantastic experience for our company. He became a valuable asset while here and we look forward to working with other students from the AIBF in the future. The program they go through has given these kids a sense of the business world that most “high schoolers” do not possess when walking into their first interview.
