Working with Calbright Career Bridge was a positive experience. I appreciated their partnership and their commitment to providing a supportive environment for all participants.

I'm very please with the work done by the students for our security project. They had to orient themselves to our industry segment and our particular organization to determine which security practices and policies apply and then recommend how we implement them.

Loved working with everyone here! Thanks for being great members of our team.

Calbright’s coordinators turned what could have been a clunky academic–industry hand-off into a “plug-and-play” partnership. Within days they spun up the Riipen workspace, locked in back-to-back kickoff calls that fit our jam-packed Monday, and kept the door open for anything we needed—Zoom links, datasets, or a quick sanity check . Their follow-through on tooling and data-sharing (Miro, email, Discord—take your pick) meant our student team always had unblocked access to real-world assets . Weekly Wednesday check-ins weren’t just calendar filler; they kept the AI-model-refinement train moving toward our August deadline without derailing other initiatives . In short, the coordinators delivered structure, speed, and a collaborative vibe that let both students and FreeFuse rack up quick wins.

The team worked well together, and were motivated to complete the tasks and learn. Everyone conducted themselves professionally, and it was a pleasure working with each of them.

The Calbright team was exceptional. I would highly recommend working with this program.

Great Experience!

Eleanor was very responsive throughout the project, which we really appreciated. The process moved quickly, and while it sometimes felt a little hard to keep up, the support we received from the coordinator was appreciated. There were a few challenges with the platform itself—it required extra navigation at times- especially when trying to contact the Riipen administrator.
