Yesterday, we took our Intern CLT crew on an adventure with our Rail Trail Walk starting at Charlotte’s SouthEnd which originated at the Vantage building (home to Grant Thornton (US). Interns discovered some of Charlotte's best-kept secrets, stopping by 704 Shop, posing at the Confetti Hearts Wall, enjoying a sweet treat from King of Pops, and exploring the Trolley Barn. It was an evening of exploration, #local charm, and memorable experiences. With each event, we aim to show why the Charlotte Region stands out as a premier place to live, work, and play. Collaboration with the CLT Alliance Young Professionals Board ensures these interns get an authentic taste of the city's vibrant culture and opportunities. We would also like to give a special shoutout to CLT Alliance Executive Commitee member David Head for kicking off the evening and welcoming our interns to #Charlotte.
