“Working at AGP expanded my own network of contacts and opened up a vast number of doors for my future. During the following year, I stayed around and volunteered when I could, because the AlabamaGermany Partnership is an organization which I can and will always support for all the good work it does for the state, for businesses, and what it did for me.”

For this reason, the AlabamaGermany Partnership was my top choice, and the organization came highly recommended by everyone at UAB. An internship at the AlabamaGermany Partnership is a unique experience.”
