When I came across Eduventures during my daily search for exciting companies offering internships, I knew that I had heard of them before. It took me a second to figure out where, but a search through past e-mails showed me that someone I knew who used to work in Career Services at a major university had moved on to a new position with Eduventures, which is located in Boston, MA. That makes perfect sense because Eduventures is “the industry leader in research and consulting for higher education institutions.” People who are familiar with the inner workings of different university functions are essential to Eduventures’ being able to do their job. And what is that exactly? They help higher education institutions develop and adopt best practices through membership research programs and consulting services.
As you have probably experienced, most colleges and universities have a proprietary way to do everything. There’s a tendency to develop a new solution instead of looking outside to see what others are doing. Eduventures helps their clients (all 300+ of them) take a look outside of their own ivory tower and get a feel for how they can improve in the areas of Academic Leadership, Continuing and Professional Education, Development, Enrollment Management, Online Higher Education, and Schools of Education. If you love the world of higher education or you get frustrated by it and want to make it better, an internship with Eduventures might be worth considering. You can get the full details on their Internship program on their Internships page. They offer unpaid (although you get a free monthly T passes, complimentary breakfast cereal, and a lunch with the company’s President & CEO) internships in the spring, summer, and fall in Research, Finance, Knowledge Management, Consulting, IT, and Marketing. Their Internships page offers a ton of information, so check it out, and if you want to apply, send a cover letter and résumé to internships@eduventures.com..
