Living Out Our Mission
Our mission at Hobsons is to connect learning to life by matching students to opportunities across a lifetime of education decisions. Our Summer Internship Program exemplifies our commitment to supporting student success; it is our mission come to life within the walls of our Arlington and Cincinnati offices. Hobsons strives to instill an emphasis on learning and scholarship in its culture, clients, and employees daily, and the internship program is no exception.
Connect College to Careers
Every summer a cohort of college students embark on a 10-week-long internship where they gain experience in a real work environment. Interns are able to explore careers that align with their coursework and interests. Undergraduate and graduate students with various skill sets and backgrounds join the Hobsons team across all departments and gain hands-on experience in helping solve real business problems. At the end of the 10 weeks, all interns get an opportunity to present what they have learned in a capstone project to our leadership team.
