Sam Handy first came to RIMTA as a student at Salve Regina in search of a summer job. Once the staff met Sam, they immediately recommended him for the new Marine Trades Marketing Summer Work-and-Learn Program—a six-week program for individuals ages 18-24 who are interested in water-based recreation, marketing, PR and communications. After completing the program, he stayed on as a RIMTA intern and a member of the Providence Boat Show team.
