IT issues are some of the most consistent problems faced by companies. For a start, there’s the issue of maintaining your existing infrastructure, as well as supporting the employees that use it.  Then, of course, there’s supporting enquiries, system administration of desktops and servers, performing system and software upgrades, supporting database systems, networks and PC applications, and helping your staff to get to grips with it all.

How can small businesses possibly create remote internship experience? Well, it is easier than you think and you wouldn’t be doing it alone.

Remote internships are not a new phenomenon, in fact, tech organisations in Silicon Valley have been utilising remote interns for years (if there is internet there is a way). And with good reason.
