Grandshake provide access to industry partners...
“We've been working with Grandshake for a while now and one of the great things about working with them is that it gives us access to industry partners and experiences for our kids, which wouldn't be possible by ourselves. And also the quality assurance processes of Grandshake mean that we have confidence that our students are safe in the environments that they work in and we'll have great experiences.”
