Wow!
What A great opportunity for someone with the right experience or schooling. I have personally visited this facility and have met the hard working staff at Newsome Ceramic Tile Design. The other great thing about this area is the majestic views of the west wall of the Grand Canyon. What a beautiful and clean (No smog!) place to live and work. This internship will be an awesome experience for someone. And the local pizza restaurant can't be beat.
