At Brucira, we believe internships are like the ultimate treasure hunts – they’re packed with opportunities for both the intern and the company to discover hidden gems. We’re always on the lookout for fresh talent, and while skills are important, we’re more excited about finding people with the right attitude. Skills can be taught if the person is eager to learn!
Our welcoming environment ensures interns feel like part of the family from day one. By involving them in significant projects, we help them grow their skills and gain invaluable hands-on experience. Today, we’re diving into the journey of Vrushika, who joined us as a UX/UI intern in January 2024.
