Internship Job Description

VSolvIT is a small technology services provider that specializes in providing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and general information technology support. An Intern would “wear lots of hats” and be exposed to a variety of GIS and related technology projects.  Projects revolve around helping clients with their business needs, and using GIS technology for mapping and analysis. For instance, one project examined the distribution of cancer rates and helped a client in the pharmaceutical industry find candidates for a clinical  trial. 

Internships are typically unpaid; however VSolvIT does provide training if needed and provides a rich opportunity for Interns to gain some ‘real world’ project experience.

Training Offered

GIS training through ESRI Virtual Campus. VsolvIT will help train the Intern on other needed technology, if needed.
