“The opportunity to become a WRPS intern is by far the best choice I have ever made. I had a great manager and team who taught me skills, knowledge and gave great advice.

Thank you to all who helped me as an Internal Audit and Project Controls intern, especially my managers who worked very hard to place me in a position that was best fit for me.”
