We are currently searching for graduate-level students in Economics, Mathematics or the Business Analysis Track of the Business School, who would be interested in performing in a small, but growing firm. Our program brings in graduate students for a 90-day period, in which they would be paid an hourly wage with a flexible work schedule structured to meet their possible class schedule. Weekly work hours could range from 12-30 per week during the internship, with semi-monthly pay periods. After the initial 90-day period, we would make an assessment of the intern, and they would do the same of us, in order to determine their candidacy for full-time employment. Upon acceptance of a full-time salaried offer, the employee would then be extended full medical benefits and an option to participate in our Simple IRA Plan. All of our current successful Client Managers, Project Managers, and Analysts have come up through this program from the University of Washington in Seattle and Texas A&M University.
