People Operations & Program Internship - Summer

Overview

About Center of Excellence:

Centers of Excellence (COE) are teams whose primary goal is to provide expertise in a specific field. COEs will usually provide support through training, research, and skilled leaders. In the case of Health Edge, our Centers of Excellence incorporate the Human Resources, IT, Legal, and Financial fields, all of which provide support to our Product divisions and enable the enterprise to move forward and achieve its goals.

Health Edge offers a structured paid 12‑week virtual internship program that will allow you to help drive meaningful and strategic project work that delivers real impact to our teams, customers, and business, while having fun along the way! You will support the People team and will also get exposure to various departments and strategic initiatives through our Discover Health Edge  weekly series.

Interns will also participate in our three‑day Innovation Challenge and a final internship project presentation to showcase the impact you’ve made. Additionally, we provide workshops focused on resume writing, Linked In profiles, interview preparation, and more!
