What Bart says about being an Intern at Cisco Supply Chain
"During my time as an intern I got full responsibility for an international project from day one. As part of my assignment I spent 4 days in the Czech Republic and had to collaborate with different departments within Cisco. I really appreciated all the time and effort they invested in me. In fact, I enjoyed working at Cisco so much that I am now employed by them."
