Description
Our Information and Data Management Internship offers students an invaluable
opportunity to gain experience and develop skills that are highly transferable to various career paths. By actively participating in member engagement and data management tasks, interns will refine their communication skills through interactions with members, enhancing their ability to convey information clearly and professionally.

Interns will gain practical experience in a real-world environment, applying classroom
knowledge to practical scenarios and building their resumes for diverse fields. At the
Chamber, interns will engage in meaningful work experiences tailored to their academic and career goals. Opportunities include research, writing, database management, policy analysis, communications, and event preparation. Throughout the internship, interns will have the chance to network with colleagues and senior-level executives, participating in educational and professional activities designed
to enrich their experience. This internship program equips interns with the skills,
knowledge, and connections necessary for success in their future careers.
Our Information and Data Management Internship can play a pivotal role in driving our project to completion as we navigate the final stages of the US Chamber of Commerce accreditation process. With our project already 60 percent complete, the intern's assistance in areas such as data management, research, policy development,
communications, quality assurance, project management, and training efforts can prove invaluable. By leveraging their skills and enthusiasm, the intern can help streamline our processes, ensure compliance with accreditation standards, and ultimately enhance the chamber's reputation and credibility within the business community. Their contributions will not only expedite the remaining tasks but also uphold the quality and professionalism integral to our accreditation endeavor.
