Learn more about the engagement and retention department and the type of work the interns within the department do.

About Us

As a engagement and retention specialist, interns will oversee a broad range of responsibilities. They will help fill internship openings, train new interns, manage a diverse workplace, assist in developing policy and procedures, as well as plan and lead weekly career development discussions for creating attention-grabbing resumes and LinkedIn profiles, and answering tough interview questions. Interns may also be assisting the DME Volunteer Program with onboarding volunteers. In the closing months of the internship, human resource department members will be responsible for fulfilling all requests for letters of recommendation for jobs and graduate school.
