The IT Support Intern will join the IT team in a hands-on, learning-focused role that provides exposure to the systems, practices, and services required to build and support a reliable IT ecosystem for employees and customers. Working under the guidance of experienced team members, the intern will learn about workplace technology, systems administration, device support, security practices, and structured investigation and troubleshooting. The role also offers practical experience in customer service, professional communication, and working with people who have varying levels of technical knowledge. This internship is well suited to a curious and resourceful individual who is comfortable not always knowing the answer, but is motivated to research, learn, ask thoughtful questions, and find an appropriate solution.
