Internship at Intratec

Internships are commonly seen in the academic sector as a source of cheap labor, where interns are frequently assigned trivial tasks, with limited opportunities for learning. In this context, Interns often hold a peripheral role, with limited involvement in important projects or decisions, and internships are seen as temporary engagements with little focus on future roles or long-term relationships.

Internships at Intratec are precisely the opposite of this picture.

At Intratec, we invest a lot on interns, both directly (high internship grants and benefits, software licenses) and indirectly (Intratec invests a lot of resources on interns: Intratec Analysts and Partners, every day, interact a lot with interns, struggling to transmit company culture, provide opportunities for growth, and forge them as great professionals)

In this context, it takes years for an intern at Intratec to actually bring any financial return to the company, considering all that has been invested in them.

But why Intratec proceed this way?

Because at Intratec, as we have a very unique culture, we prefer fresh individuals who are more open-minded and less biased, and train them from the ground up. So we invest heavily in interns to ensure that they are fully immersed in our culture, which ultimately leads to the development of highly skilled professionals who are well-aligned with our company's values and goals.

And that is how we build a team of exceptional people! The internship at Intratec is the path for great people join the company and, ultimately, become analysts at the company.

So we do not assign trivial tasks to our interns; instead, we engage them in projects that have a real impact on our business. Interns work alongside experienced analysts and partners, gaining essential skills and being encouraged to share their ideas, take initiative, and be proactive in their roles. We value interns who are eager to learn and enthusiastic about their work. We see them as equals, teammates who bring fresh perspectives and energy to our projects.
