Our 2026/2027 interns had their first MICTSETA partner site visit. A chance to connect, get oriented and understand what’s expected as they begin their journey into the world of work.

From learning the ropes to gaining real industry experience, this is where the journey begins.

We’re excited to see where this next chapter takes them. 🤩
