Interns need strong communication, organization, writing and problem-solving skills, and the ability to take initiative while accepting guidance. Interns work both individually and as part of a team, and join departmental meetings and strategy sessions. Recommended for those interested in sales and marketing careers in any field, or in non-profit management.
