Thank you for considering KeelWorks. Seasoned workers willing to support our recent graduates are critical. Intern teams are researching needs, designing interfaces, building applications, systems, courses, managing projects, maintaining systems, producing marketing materials, collecting/managing/ displaying data and more.
