1. Onsharp

Now I might be a bit biased because I am an  intern, but in my opinion Onsharp is one of the best places to intern in town. Not only are you working alongside great professionals, you’re able to work and collaborate to create different projects both internally and for clients. Yes, FOR CLIENTS! They offer two different internships throughout the academic year:  and , so if you think you might be a good fit I highly suggest sending in an application.

2. Intelligent InSites

I’ve known at least six different students who have worked at Intelligent InSites and have really enjoyed their time there. They offer a variety of internships from construction project managers to talent interns.

3. Kilbourne Group

The  works to strengthen and revitalize the downtown Fargo area. Their work has been integral in creating the thriving downtown community we have today!

They have a variety of internships available with a great staff and a wealth of knowledge to share, but that’s not even the best part. They have office dogs! That’s right – while you’re gaining valuable career experience you can be playing alongside a furry friend. It doesn’t get much better than that!
