Internships

Learn on real client work. Leave with a career.

Students from Purdue, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Elmhurst University join live projects in AI, web development, and digital marketing, alongside the people who build them. Our first interns joined in 2007.

What interns work on

Interns specialize in one area and work across others, on projects that ship to real clients.

  1. AI

    Agent workflows on platforms like OpenAI, and AI tools such as Fireflies.ai, Prosp.ai, and Follow.ai put to work on client problems.

  2. Web development

    HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks on production sites and applications.

  3. Digital marketing

    SEO, content, social media, and analytics for B2B clients, measured to results.

  4. UX and UI design

    Interfaces and experiences people find clear and easy to use.

  5. Project management

    How a digital project runs from kickoff to launch, and how to keep it on track.
