7. How It Works
This program is not exclusive or
selective. We believe in open
opportunities just as much as we

You get what you put in. Meaning the
more initiative you take, the more you
will get out of this experience. Whether

friends, or knowledge - you are
guaranteed to gain something
valuable, and we mean it.
