Transportation
The Crossing School of Business and Entrepreneurship is committed to facilitating a smooth and convenient experience for students participating in the 13-week internship at Royal Developments. To ensure that transportation is not a barrier to participation, the school will provide transportation to the internship site each day, enabling students to arrive on time and ready to engage in their daily activities. This arrangement is ideal for students who may not have access to personal transportation or prefer the convenience of organized travel.
In addition to the transportation provided by the school, there is flexibility for students who prefer or require a different arrangement.
