If you find out, please let me know. Thatâs a project I would love to share with STC members. We get a lot of inexperienced people looking for ways to flush out their portfolios and this might be a great opportunity for them. Of course theyâre always looking for paid opportunities first but I am assuming this is not one. Who knows but it would be great to find out more about it. You can contact me off-line if you want to.
