Business Development Internship

About this Internship

Are you looking to get ahead of the game with business and leadership skills so you stand out when it’s time to start applying for your first real job? A Jordan Ford internship shows that you have “real life” experience with a company that’s been in business 100+ years, and that’ll interest your future boss when they’re scanning through hundreds of resumes.

Our internship program meets the needs of today while preparing students for the workforce of the future. The goal of the program is to show talented, motivated and intelligent college students what it is like to work in our business. We want to learn just as much from them as they want to learn from us, by gaining new ideas and hearing their thoughts about what their generation looks for in the work force. Our program will develop and prepare students to join the “real world” and apply what they learned in school.

This will be a paid internship consisting of 20-29 hours worked per week paid on an hourly basis. Need class credit? We can work with you and get any paperwork submitted for you.

A Jordan Ford intern will take a deep dive into our company culture, learn how departments work independently and together, develop business skills, meet trusted vendors, and learn how crucial it is to have industry leading customer service.
