Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) September 06, 2012
ePrize, the global leader in digital engagement, today announced that the company is participating in the AIESEC and Challenge Detroit programs as part of efforts to revitalize the city of Detroit and train young leaders.
Starting today, ePrize welcomes new trainees including Kirstine Bernes from Denmark and Asia Gholston, a recent Michigan State graduate.
ePrize, recently nominated as one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work for in Detroit, is participating in the AIESEC program which offers international opportunities and internships around the globe, allowing students to positively impact society and the world. With 60 years’ experience in 110 countries and 2,100 universities, AIESEC gives students like Bernes the chance to experience working in countries throughout the world.

Gholston, who has had opportunities to work in numerous other cities, is determined to give back to her Detroit hometown with the goal of contributing to its continued growth and revitalization.
“These initiatives give Detroit the chance to continue to reinvent itself,” said Kim Smith, senior vice president of business development at ePrize. “Students can jumpstart their careers in this great city, which is being reinvented by technology innovations from companies like ePrize. It’s a win-win situation for both the companies here and were proud to host these great young professionals.”
Kirstine Bernes graduated from Aalborg University (Denmark) and will now pursue her dream of working in the United States through her internship with the ePrize Chicago team for 11 months.
