Summer 2014 Apprentices

Kilbourne Group welcomes another talented team of apprentices this summer! Healthy, vibrant communities attract young professionals, and we hope to help these students and recent graduates gain real world experience through hands-on-learning and thought leadership.

We decided to get to know these young professionals by asking a couple non-professional questions…
