By engaging with this solar market early on, the intern will gain invaluable insider experience before the sector becomes well-known.

A marketing intern will learn how to collect, research and analyze data. You will also learn how to craft unique messaging and propose media materials. There will be opportunities for the intern to develop their interpersonal skills while assisting a mentor in building partnerships or marketing our services.
