Grow Detroit’s Young Talent Intern Starts at SpaceLab

Micah-01   We’re proud to participate with the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. and Motor City Match in the City of Detroit’s Grow Detroit’s Young Talent summer internship program. Our intern, Micah, is self-motivated and creative. She has experience developing graphic design and marketing materials at her high school, and she’ll be assisting us with social media and in creating our first year economic impact report.

Our coworking atmosphere exposes Micah to an entrepreneurial career path and provide an opportunity for her to interact with several business owners all in one location who can act as strong role models.

Micah is ambitious and has set many goals beyond high school, including being an entrepreneur and attending medical school to become a pediatrician or OBGYN.
