This is a paid internship that consists of 1/3 shadowing, 1/3 classroom training, and 1/3 in-field training. Interns will get trained on the solar and renewable industry, managing client relationships, generating new business, and leadership. At the end of the 8-week internship, interns will receive a performance review with their mentor and the CEO. Top interns will be offered entry into our leadership management program, or a part-time role that works around their school schedule. The paid internship takes place from late May to Aug. 

Responsibilities:

• Learn company mission, values and sales process
• Learn about the available solar and energy efficiency rebate programs
• Shadow mentor in the field to understand customer process-flow
• Work with teammates to execute marketing plan that effectively communicates to potential customers what solar and energy efficiency programs are available
• Demonstrate leadership abilities

Next Door does not believe typical college courses are effective in developing leadership skills so candidates must have demonstrated the following:

• Leadership ability OUTSIDE the classroom or through non-traditional classes
• Previous work experience that involved communicating effectively to clients/potential clients
• Demonstrated ability to have a growth mindset
• Desire to do work that makes a positive impact
• Positive attitude
• Integrity

Must be above average in the following areas:

• Verbal communication
• Written communication
• Leadership ability

Next Door Worldwide is a charity that is on a mission to develop leaders in our community through meaningful work that truly makes a difference in people's lives.

This is done in 3 ways:

1. Make a dent in the single biggest killer of humans in the world today: water-borne disease. NDWW has committed to paying for a solar water farm that will provide access to clean water for up to 35,000 people per day in Kenya.

2. Help potential leaders in other parts of the world get access to better education. NDWW has committed to installing a solar system on a school in Nepal that currently does not have access to electricity or the internet.

3. Help future leaders here in our community obtain two of the most important leadership traits: experience and perspective. NDWW gives college students a platform where they can raise money for a meaningful cause...and then actually experience the impact of their hard work by traveling to Nepal and meeting the families in the village that they are helping. The experience of working on a team towards a noble goal combined with the experience of traveling to a 3rd world country and meeting the people that they are helping, will help our team members find their calling and make an even bigger impact when they get home.

Marketing Interns learn leadership and marketing through hands on work that actually makes an impact.

Next Door Worldwide is funded by Next Door Home Upgrades - Our solar and energy efficiency company NDHU inspires homeowners to make better decisions when it comes to how they buy their electricity. We do this by connecting homeowners with programs that allow them to go green and save money without having to invest any money.
