Here is what a 2021 Career Ready Internship partner had to say about their experience,
“I have been partnering with AEF for many years now and I can honestly say that I am always amazed by the exceptional students and what they bring to the table. While it is certainly wonderful to share my love of the industry with students, the real reward is experiencing firsthand their enthusiasm for the future.”- Lori Chalk, Owner, Events by Chalk
