The Shadow Interns will experience many of the same things as the CIM student. As a Shadow Intern you will learn more about entry-level concrete careers that do not require a 4-year degree or learn how to apply for one of the CIM programs if that is your goal. The Shadow Internship for the Summer of 2023 is available in Lenexa, Kansas in connection with the Rolling Magic Skatepark and we are looking for Shadow Interns within the Lenexa and Kansas City Region!
