Business Intelligence Intern

TDS, a Fortune 1000 national technology and communications company, has a great opportunity for two Business Intelligence (BI) Interns.  One internship will focus on data analysis and report / dashboard development for functional areas of the business and the other internship will focus on data modeling and architecture including ETL (extract, transform, and load) and SQL scripting.  Both roles will perform requirements gathering, data visualization projects and potentially predictive modeling.

This internship provides the unique opportunity to learn about the inter-workings of a large IT organization, along with offering the ability to participate in job shadows, community volunteerism, and associate resource groups (ARG’s) - a student favorite being the Intern Associate Resource Group (ARG). The Intern ARG provides networking opportunities and exposure to Enterprise senior leaders.
