Are you a trainer, coach or rehab professional that is considering starting an internship program?

If so, this is your show!

IFAST has had an incredibly successful internship program for over 13 years now, and one of the most common questions I get asked is:

“How do I build an internship program in my business?”

So in this show, I’m going to outline all the do’s and don’ts.

The wins and the losses.

And perhaps most importantly, how our internship program has evolved over the years.

So sit back, relax and take some notes because this episode is chock-full of great info!

 

We are in a service and people-based business – you’ve got to like helping people. – El Conquistador, Mike Robertson
