Internships

The best way to sharpen skills and discover your strengths in a chosen profession is simple: Learn by doing. That’s why we offer internships during fall, spring and summer semesters. Currently, internships are hosted in our Athens, Ga., office, but will be expanded to include Atlanta-based positions in 2021. 

Note: Positions for fall 2020 might be virtual due to COVID-19. More details to come!
