Business Development Internship

**This is a non-technical role

The ISN Internship program is an intensive, ten-week program that gives university students a unique opportunity to put the skills they have learned in their undergraduate career into practical application in the workforce. A select group of students will be invited to participate and gain experience in two critical aspects of business: Customer Service and Business Development. 

Interns will travel to ISN’s headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and spend one week of the internship participating in our new-hire training program, EDGE. Interns will learn about our business model and gain experience on the Customer Service Team during this time. The training program includes classroom and on-the-job training in areas of soft-skill development, Customer Service Excellence, and ISN products and services. During classroom training, interns will participate in group breakout sessions, hands-on activities, and self-paced assignments. The content will be reviewed with unique follow-up activities and quizzes in preparation for an end-of-training test to verify competency. 

They will then be immersed in Client Development teams in Toronto or Calgary where they will be able to closely observe the prospecting and account management side of ISN in Canada and travel to a client meeting. Interns will be assigned projects throughout the program, culminating in a research-intensive project. At the close of their internship, they will present their findings to the management team, gaining valuable experience in speaking in high-pressure situations.
