This co-op program provides students with the opportunity to explore the global colleague community engagement side of our business. Interns will gain exposure to key areas such as corporate social responsibility initiatives, event planning, stakeholder coordination, data tracking, and internal communications while also learning how global programs drive employee engagement and social impact.

• Coordinate with teams across regions to track participation and program details.
• Help gather and organize campaign data, including volunteer metrics and impact results.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize information into clear insights.
• Comfortable working with data, including experience using tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, or similar for tracking and reporting.
• Interest in community engagement, volunteering, corporate social responsibility, and social impact programs.
• Prior internship or experience in event planning, communications, or program coordination is an asset.
• Experience working with global or cross-functional teams is an asset.
• Familiarity with volunteer engagement tools (e.g., Benevity Impact Hub) is considered a nice-to-have, but not required.

When you join our team:

• We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
• We’ll recognize and support you in a flexible environment where well-being and inclusion are more than just words.
• As part of our global team, we’ll support you in shaping the future you want to see.
