Interns will work directly with recognized industry experts on real-world assignments related to their field of study, receiving both mentoring and coaching.

• Human Resources Business Partners: Providing administrative and advisory support to operational leaders.
• Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS): Working with HR databases and systems.

Interns will ask questions, participate actively in project teams, bring forward ideas, and apply learning from their team to assigned projects. They will also participate in an in-depth program including cross-functional workshops and meetings with leadership to gain a broader understanding of the business and SNC culture. Successful completion of the internship may lead to a full-time position upon graduation.
