Job Description

We are looking for a curious, motivated, and tech-savvy intern to join our team for a 10-week hybrid internship program. This is a unique opportunity designed for someone who wants real-world exposure to two of the most in-demand disciplines in technology, IT Support and Cybersecurity.

The program is intentionally structured so you spend the first five weeks embedded with our IT Support team learning the fundamentals of how technology environments operate, and the final five weeks transitioning into our Cybersecurity team where you will build on that foundation with hands-on exposure to how we protect those environments. The goal is simple: give you a well-rounded, practical experience that prepares you for a future in tech.
