Human Resources Internship

AI overview

Gain hands-on experience in HR process improvement by analyzing workflows, designing creative solutions, and presenting your ideas to the team.

This is an internship where your ideas won’t just be heard — they’ll be put into action.

Pitch Your Idea

  • Build a slide deck that tells the story: the problem, the pain points, and your proposed solution
  • Present your pitch to the HR team and selected business partners

Build the Implementation Plan

  • Outline timelines, steps, and resources needed
  • Begin implementing your solution if time allows

Additional Opportunities
