Avvinue, an expat moving platform startup based in Lyon, recently welcomed five new interns to the virtual Spring Internship Program for a two-month internship program to get hands-on experience with digital marketing, public relations and the process of launching a tech startup in the market.
The first day of the internship was May 4th, and amidst the current pandemic, the program is being conducted 100% online in the comfort and safety of one’s home. But despite the virtual setting, the new interns are learning how to work completely in a digital setting and embracing the dynamics of an international and remote team.
And since Avvinue is an expat-focused platform and a mission focused on diversity, the new interns selected also come from diverse backgrounds and have unique experience to offer to the scaling startup. The Avvinue team now represents 6 different countries from 5 continents.
“We are happy to welcome the new interns and to prepare them for their future career,” said Founder & CEO Nicole Caba. “I know firsthand how internships throughout my university studies have shaped my professional career, so I hope to give the best experience for our new interns.”
