Are your learners creative, big-picture thinkers who wish to occupy roles that align with their collaborative outlook, where each day offers unique challenges? A career in marketing may offer them a rewarding path.
Marketing is a discipline that will always be needed, and as the world becomes increasingly reliant on new forms of technology, offering remote marketing internships to your learners provides your institution with the opportunity to keep your academic curriculum current and prepare learners for the workforce.

A marketing internship involves working with a marketing team or department to support the development and implementation of marketing strategies and initiatives. Tasks may include conducting market research, content creation, social media management, graphic design, event planning, and administrative tasks. Whether your learners are interested in social media marketing, PR, or any other aspect of marketing, an internship in this field will provide them with valuable skills and experience to help drive business growth.
As a remote marketing intern, you’ll be exposed to the inner workings of global companies, delve into the importance of research and analysis, and put your creative cap on to deliver results and gain your unbeatable advantage.
Marketing is a multi-faceted field with hundreds of paths to take. A marketing internship is an ideal way to ‘try on’ these different career paths and decide which one is right. Your learners may start their internship set on digital marketing but gain exposure to press and communications marketing which completely changes their career path.
