Summer is officially underway, and we’re excited to welcome our newest group of interns to Aurora Cooperative!
This week, 10 students joined us for intern orientation, where they had the opportunity to meet team members from across the co-op and get a firsthand look at what we do. Throughout the week, the group participated in a variety of training sessions designed to set them up for success and help them feel confident as they begin their roles.
