Summer Internship with Vandelay Education

Job Description:

We are Vandelay Education.

As a company, we manage more than 45 dental and medical assistant schools across the country. We were recently named the 4th fastest growing company in Central Texas by The Austin Business Journal.

As individuals, we are humble, hungry and smart. We are energized by constant growth and improvement. We own our responsibilities and take results personally. We are passionate about what we do.

But above all, we are a team. We win together, we lose together. We all have a stake in the outcome.

What’s our mission? To change the for-profit certificate market for the better.

We strongly believe that vocational students shouldn’t have to graduate with heavy debt and little hands-on experience. That’s why we’ve pioneered a unique, hands-on training approach that allows our students to graduate with little-to-no debt AND the experience they need to become successful dental and medical assistants.

This vision goes far beyond our current programs, and we are steadily expanding our approach throughout the vocational education market.

But we can’t do it alone. To reach our goals, we need you!

We are seeking a few talented and passionate interns to join our team this summer. Hours can range from part-time to full-time, and duties can be tailored to your specific skill set. Internship opportunities include IT, marketing, business development, school operations and student services.

Internships also have the potential to transition into full-time jobs, should you be a good fit for our company.
