    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.

    What You Will Gain

    This internship is built to be a launchpad, not just a line on your resume. You will walk away with:

    • Direct mentorship from experienced IT and Cybersecurity professionals
    • Hands-on experience across two distinct and complementary technology disciplines
    • A foundational understanding of how enterprise IT environments are built and protected
    • Practical skills that align with industry certifications and career pathways
    • A professional network and reference opportunities for future employment
  • Qualifications

    • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment
    • Eagerness to learn, ask questions, and take initiative

    Nice to Haves:

    • Familiarity with Windows and macOS environments
    • Exposure to networking concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS, and DHCP
    • Any prior coursework or self-study in cybersecurity topics
    • Experience with ticketing or help desk platforms (ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk, or similar)
    • CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, or equivalent certifications (in progress or completed)
