The RTC Internship Program at Create Caribbean Research Institute is an academic enrichment initiative. Students are exposed to the culture of academic research, digital humanities and community engagement. Interns received the opportunity to collaborate, learn and to practice their own talents on projects of importance to the college community, to national development and to building regional and international networks as students and scholars.
