LOCATION:
Working in a virtual/remote opportunity means you don’t have to deal with traffic or sit in a stuffy
office! Instead, you can work in a comfortable environment that provides a reliable and secure
internet connection so that you can attend meetings and video conferences.
VIDEO CONFERENCING:
As a virtual company, we use video conferencing application(s) as our primary form of
communication. You will be required to have a video conferencing program(s) on your laptop or
desktop so that you can fully participate in meetings and training sessions. Our team meetings,
one-on-one meetings, and training sessions often require team members to turn on their video
cameras, share their screens and interact with other team members. NOTE: Your cell phone
should not be your primary source of working on assignments or attending meetings.
TIMING:
Immediately! Our internships are 200 hours. Each Teammate is required to work 10 hours a
week. If you work the minimum hours (10 hours per week), completing your internship will take
20 weeks.
COMPENSATION:
This is an unpaid virtual internship, but the experience and connections you will get for your
professional portfolio and LinkedIn profile are priceless!
