""Have I improved as a supervisor? Yes. I’m learning what to look for. I’m learning better how to interact with the students. I’m learning how to spread it amongst my team, to help give direction to the kids we get from the BEC, and we all take it very seriously, we all feel that it’s our chance to nurture and it’s not just a one way street. It’s good for the BEC, it’s good for Intel. We get the help with our work and they get the growth and confidence that they need by having a job in the real world.
