'Applying for the Summer Stars program was the best decision I made. There is so much support and the team will work endlessly in order to ensure you have an internship at the end of it. My internship provided me with so many hard skills and a glimpse into life with PR and Communications that you can only gain from a physical internship. I cannot thank the TBF team enough for the impact that the Summer Stars program made for my career development and I will definitely be recommending to friends/family'. 2022 Summer Stars intern What are we looking for in applicants?
