Our IDEA Global Internship Program
Our IDEA Global Internship Program is a full-time paid internship for approximately 12 weeks starting June 2024. Interns will receive support, coaching and mentorship, gain practical work experience, and develop new skills to expand their career possibilities.
The course of this program has been designed to offer a variety of fun, exciting, and thoughtful sessions and experiences. There will also be opportunities to connect, collaborate, and build relationships with interns across the globe. All interns follow two tracks of learning: the in-depth learning and skillset relevant to their role and the broad-breadth knowledge of our business operations. Our IDEA Global Internship Program curates a journey for each intern to discover where their passions lie and helps them lay out their career path.
This program is an investment in diverse talent that directly supports our IDEA mission—expanding 'being well' to encompass a culture of inclusion, where diversity is celebrated, equity is the norm, and action is the commitment. We further this mission through IDEA programs that build systems and cultivate an environment that not only creates, but sustains inclusion, diversity, and equity.
We strongly encourage applicants who identify as part of a group that has been historically underserved in the workforce to apply, including, but not limited to, people of all; age ranges, races and ethnicities, sex, sexual orientations, and gender identities, and people living with disabilities. We do not make hiring decisions based on race/ethnicity/gender or any protected class.
