There are many reasons to love Storage Scholars internships. From the valuable real-world experience to the networking opportunities, there's much to love about these positions. But what sets them apart is the personal growth and development opportunities. Here are a few reasons Storage Scholars internships are the best around:

You get to work right on campus

Most of your work is done right on campus when you intern with us. You get to run your own branch of the company right at your university, and the best part–there's no need to ask permission from your university because we already have. Because of our campus partnerships, you're approved to market to parents and students, set up distribution days, and will have access to the dorms on moving days. We've done the hard part so you can get the practice of running a company your way. 

‍‍

You get to recruit your hardest-working friends

You'll need a team of student movers on moving days, and what better place to hire them than right on your campus? Whom do you know that's dependable, honest, friendly, and needs some extra cash? If that sounds like a few of your college friends, then great! It's a win-win. 

‍

Did someone say free lunch? 

Hard work should be rewarded. You might not have time to stop for lunch on long days during the busy season, so we have you covered. It's common for our student workers and interns to be rewarded with a delicious lunch provided by Storage Scholars. We know that food is the way to some people's hearts, so it is our way of showing you how much we appreciate your hard work and effort. 

‍

You get to run the show

As Campus Co-Founder, Operations, or Marketing Manager, we value your talents and assets. We've selected you from a long list of other college students because we know you have the tenacity, persistence, and grit we look for in an intern. You've made it past the application process and several interview rounds, and now you get to shine as the expert on your campus. We're giving you everything you need to run the show. That means we will train and mentor you from start to finish and empower you to run your own branch of our business on your campus. But in doing so, you'll have much creative freedom to take it in any direction. You'll be able to test out new marketing ideas, lead your classmates in your style, make decisions based on real-life factors, and execute how you see fit. It's a perfect combination of our training and your knowledge and strengths. What better experience is there than that?   

‍

You will have a high level of connectedness within your college campus

When you accept a position as a Storage Scholars intern, you truly become the "boots on the ground," and your campus success relies primarily on you. You will be recruiting student movers, marketing to parents, coordinating with university administrators, and leading your student team. You will get to know everyone involved and establish yourself as a strong business leader. Your relationships will prove valuable as your business grows year after year if you choose to grow with it. Having great connections and networking that you will do will prove to be beneficial even after college as you enter a new level of the professional world. You'll have an edge that other graduates don't yet have.  

‍

You'll gain valuable skills and experience 

Through 8 weeks of specialized training, you will gain the hard and soft skills necessary to work in an authentic setting. Depending on your specific internship role, you will learn about marketing and sales in the beginning. You will network with students and parents, engage in tabling efforts on campus, speak to organizations and social groups, and more. Through these activities, you will develop the ability to efficiently and effectively communicate the value proposition of our service while successfully closing sales. You will get to evaluate and reflect each week, track individual metrics with your executive team lead, and alter your course the following week if needed. 

Once you reach the operations portion of your internship, you'll be able to learn and practice an entirely new set of skills. You will get an in-depth look at the storage and moving industry and how it works. Aside from managing high-level operations, you'll also recruit a team to make it happen. Essentially, you'll be learning the skills and then implementing those skills from start to finish with mentors by your side every step of the way. 

‍

You'll have fun!

We want you to love your work–because we sure do! In case you haven't heard, there's a famous saying that goes something like this: "If you love the work you do, you'll never work a day in your life (-Confucius)—working with friends, networking with like-minded people, learning a new industry, marketing creatively, and executing a high-level operation. Not only will you be incredibly proud of your work, we think you'll enjoy it too.
