A
little bit about the company: ScholarPro Inc. develops
and distributes educational software targeting the financial sector of higher
education institutions. ScholarPro is driven by its social mission and
end goal of helping all students afford college; our products
and services are aimed at bringing web innovation to the
process of financial aid. Our company mission is not to
maximize profits but the impact our services have on a
student’s financial livelihood. Currently we are in the development stage
working towards our main product launch in the near future.
Our firm collaborates with a wide spectrum of educational institutions
ranging from collegiate universities to high school charter schools. We
are located in Wellesley, Massachusetts
The Opportunity
The following opening is great opportunity to work with an
up and coming firm in the educational software industry. A
career either in education or software development will be greatly
aided; the skills that our intern will earn will be
applicable to any small to mid size business environment they
will experience in the future. We take great care in
helping our interns find permanent positions in the industry they
are most suited to after the fact. We would also
like to stress that this session of internships will especially
have more hands on work with the operations of our
company; interns will be working on every facet of our
product development. Lastly, working closely with each intern on a
1 on 1 and also team basis will give our
managers an excellent ability to reference your skills in the
future.
Work Description
Internships will last for
a total of 7 weeks, from May 18th to July
7th. Interns will be expected to be available for work
during the normal business hours during the week (10 –
5) and occasional weekends during more time sensitive phases of
our product launch.
Responsibilities
ScholarPro is currently
in the development stage thus we will be focusing on
hiring individuals with large project experience. A large amount of
time will be spent on filling the requirements for our
product launch; an intern can expect to have their daily
