The students were taken through one week of intensive orientation program with a focus on work ethics and culture of the company as well as its products and services. The students expressed their excitement for the opportunity to work with the Jireh brand as interns.

In proposing a toast for the occasion, Ms. Bridgette Sitsope Agbeve who has over the years been doing her internship with the company wished it a bright future and to all members of staff, more rewarding years. At the end of the program, the interns also expressed their willingness to return to the company for the same program in the future.
