Also, look for us to give you the kind of real-world business context and feedback that professors generally cannot provide, not only about your specific skill area but (perhaps more importantly!) feedback from perspectives outside of your major, such as how various other aspects of the business drive needs and decisions for your projects. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it indicates the many projects taking place.

Previous internship experience is beneficial but optional. You must have completed some classes relevant to your internship prior to beginning and must show examples of what you know during your interview. The purpose of the internship is to provide training and experience that goes beyond classroom education. Therefore, we rely on each intern (you) to have mastered classroom-level fundamentals related to the internship prior to beginning it, so that you can participate with high-level instructions, minimal direction, and feedback from our professionals and your peers on a weekly basis as a way to learn and grow. We also expect you to fully follow the training materials provided by your syllabus, including taking self-directed learning where specified.  Professionalism Expectations: Internships are unlike the classroom and operate differently than what students do in school. Our internships are meant to challenge you, not to introduce you to a subject for the first time or to tell you exactly how to do everything from the ground up, but also do not expect you to know everything a seasoned professional will. We offer a hands-on experience where interns are empowered to take initiative, problem-solve, use resources, creativity, and personal judgment. After receiving instructions, we expect interns to find their own solutions to problems in collaboration with their peers. We also expect interns to speak up throughout an internship. We work closely with organizations whose mission is to speak and act in ways that take courage for the greater good and value members of our team who can do the same.You will receive individual guidance and feedback from our professionals during weekly meetings with the CEO and staff. You’ll take on roles consistent with the internship but refined to align with current company projects as you collaborate within and across teams in accordance with the amount of initiative you demonstrate. You should be excited to learn new things and be able to take criticism. Our internships are meant to bridge the classroom to the workplace and are designed for those seeking the knowledge-level in between. Frequently Asked Questions:Why Us? Gain real professional training and apply your creativity and drive for project-focused, hands-on learning experiences. You’ll receive individual guidance and feedback to help you on your path to a professional career. Use your time to make a difference. We are all linked, so help us help the world. Why Participate Remotely? We are creating the workplace of the future. It is akin to what the CEO of the multi-billion dollar company Automattic calls Level 5. As a 100% remote company for many years, we have developed remote internship processes that prioritize and achieve freedom, socialization, organization, and personal wellness. See below about networking and meetings. What can we offer you? Real, Hands-on Experience: Rather than the coffee-fetching of a typical internship or the textbook learning of a classroom setting, we provide interns with hands-on experience with real projects. Each intern will have a main project along the lines of the title of the internship position to which they were accepted, plus several side projects, which together create diverse learning experiences.Make a Difference: By participating here, you can help a variety of organizations help the world on a larger scale. Join us in pursuing truth, knowledge, and how best to help the world make itself a better place.Teamwork and Mentorship: NourishCap enables you to work in small teams of typically 1 to 5 interns. You’ll meet regularly with fellow interns on your team. You’ll also meet weekly as a team to gain direct supervision and mentorship from the company’s CEO, senior staff members, and more seasoned interns.Network with Peers, Mentors, and More: Learn networking and how to communicate effectively with executives. This skill will allow you to build lasting impressions and have direct interactions with staff members and fellow interns around the United States and the world. Interns often report connecting with more people in our remote internships than in physical classrooms of comparable size because of how we encourage and facilitate networking meetings.Company Culture: It’s crucial for interns to feel comfortable speaking up for what they believe in. We value suggestions for improvements on all aspects of our company and voicing opinions about projects in team settings. We seek interns who can pursue the career growth they want and the courage to request the kind of work they want to do. We choose intellectually honest individuals with a spirit of independence and interdependence.Workplace Readiness Training: Employers expect students to understand communication soft skills and corporate culture; however, colleges offer few opportunities for students to learn day-to-day workplace fundamentals for behavior. As a result, we’ve developed something unique: our Rules-of-Thumb (RoT’s) training process. The RoTs are the otherwise unwritten rules of professional etiquette based on hard-learned experiences of industry professionals. We’re developing a book and a training system for explicitly teaching this kind of advice to our employees, interns, and eventually to others, which will be valuable for their future careers.Portfolio: With approval from management, this internship also offers opportunities to add examples to your professional portfolio, which you can later use for future job applications.Letter of Recommendation: If you successfully complete one or more internships, we will sign compelling letters of recommendation for you. Previous interns have used these letters to enter our nation’s top graduate programs and excellent post-graduation careers. We can also serve as a reference for various applications you may pursue.Leadership Opportunities: In addition to encouraging each intern to demonstrate personal leadership within their team of fellow interns, we create “Level 3: Management” internships in every department that people can apply to as long as they have participated in at least one prior internship with us. This advanced position gives smart, responsible interns training and practice for leading teams of other interns while under the supervision of a NourishCap supervisor.Academic Credit: If you want work-study or school credit for the internship, we can almost always provide the kind of oversight your university would require. Some educational institutions require prior approval before the start of an internship. It is your responsibility to check with your institution to be sure you meet all requirements for participation before you interview with us. We do NOT require you to enroll in a class or get credit for your internship; some universities do require this of you, others make it optional, and still others do not allow credit. What does a typical day look like? There is no typical day, but there is a typical week.  What does a typical week look like?You will participate in projects either collaboratively in a team or independently on a project that is aligned with what the company is doing during the time of your internship.Every week, you will use your “Personal Syllabus” to complete weekly tasks and log your process.In weekly team meetings, you will be guided by supervisors who have years of experience. You may ask questions about department supervisors during your interview. In weekly team meetings, you’ll show your syllabus log to your team via a screenshare and show, get feedback on, and take notes for the next steps with your project.In addition, you'll have intern-only meetings throughout the week to collaborate with your peers, review each other's work, and answer each other's questions.You’ll have access to aRule of Thumb (RoT) book that contains our advice about corporate culture and communications soft skills: these are mostly from lessons we learned the 'hard way' in the workplace, things that no one taught us in college classes but that most employers expect you to know. What are the schedule expectations for this internship? We have team and individual meetings every week via Google Meet. We expect you to be generally available for meetings during US Eastern time business hours.Aside from scheduled meetings, you will have your choice for daily start and stop times; you can create a routine that works for you as long as you prioritize your internship.For internships taken during the fall or spring, participate part-time. For internships during the summer, participate full-time. Internships can be a mix of part- and full-time.Manage your schedule well to fulfill the weekly internship time you agree to.Internship start and end dates are flexible according to your university’s calendar for classes. What is the expected time commitment? We offer both part and full-time internships with rolling start dates (starting whichever week of the year works best for you) and can generally work around your class schedule, as long as you commit to a routineYou can switch from full-time to part-time, or vice versa, as long as the duration adds up to a total of at least 400 hours, with 480 hours preferred.If full-time: strongly preferred in summer and available throughout the year, 40 hours/week (or whatever is the maximum your college allows) lasts for about 3 months.If part-time: during school sessions, 12-20 hours/week (or whatever is the maximum your college allows) for about 6 months.  When may I get started? If we make you an internship offer, you may start either as soon as you like or later in the year when your schedule permits: we have an orientation/onboarding meeting almost every Thursday for new interns. When will I start a project? Your first week will consist of onboarding and getting familiar with the environment of the internship, including the team and company resources. After about 1-2 weeks, projects are assigned to you during the weekly team check-in meetings. These weekly sessions allow you to meet with your team to discuss plans, tasks, and feedback. Who is more likely to succeed in this internship position? People with:a genuine interest in mushroomsclassroom experience relevant to this positionproactive mindsets that like their voices to be hearddetailed note-taking habitstime management skills who are organized and dependable an eagerness to take initiative with their ideas and communicate early and often How does the interview process work? First, suppose an applicant meets our preliminary qualifications. In that case, we send them a message via Handshake with detailed instructions for setting up an interview that must be followed precisely; otherwise, we will decline the interview. Generally, each applicant has at least one interview during which their aptitude and knowledge are evaluated. If this goes well, the applicant will be given a follow-up task to examine how much they understand about our company and their position. Then, we typically send a decision on an internship offer within a few business days. If I apply, what are the odds I’ll be accepted? We post internship positions to nearly 1,200 colleges across the USA and receive hundreds of applications for each position for each season of the year. We generally select between 1 and 5 people per position per season (Winter/Spring, Summer, or Fall/Winter). Although our interviews are friendly and conversational, there are many factors that we carefully consider before, during, and after each interview. If you are selected for an interview, there is no guarantee that you will be given an offer. Upon selection for an interview, we will send you a message with everything you need to do to prepare for your interview, and you will be expected to follow all of the instructions thoroughly. It would be best if you took some time to prepare for your interview.  Can I participate in more than one position? Not simultaneously; you may only participate in one position at a time. However, we welcome and encourage sequential internships, meaning participating in one team at one time and then another team at another time.  How will I be supervised, and who will be my supervisor? Each team will report directly to their department manager (who will be your supervisor) every week by screen-sharing a log about their training and accomplishments. (See also “What does a typical week look like?” above.) Your manager may be assisted by other team members and sometimes by interns who are more senior than you, so treat them all as sources of authority. If you ever have concerns about your peers or supervisors, you can contact people at any level of the organization. We prefer that everyone communicate early and often about their concerns and accomplishments! How often will I work with supervisors compared to other interns? This varies from position to position and changes from the beginning to the end of a typical internship; however, generally, you will meet with your supervisor for at least one, if not several, hours a week. You will meet with fellow interns for at least a few hours a week, if not up to about half of the time per week that you spend on your internship. You will work on your own projects and training the rest of the time. If you want to spend more (or less) time working directly with others, let your supervisor know; they can sometimes make adjustments. We encourage you to collaborate with others as often as possible.What are the challenges to expect? Interns grow by dealing with and working through such challenges; this is how the real world works. This internship will take hard work and sometimes will be an imperfect experiment in training. There may be occasional communication at odd hours due to time differences and urgent matters. There will be more intern-intern interaction than with supervisors, and you can expect a mix of training from supervisors and finding and developing training yourself. Tasks may sometimes be vague and unclear, as some assignments will be new. Real people run our organization — and while we are not perfect — we intend to work hard and be the best we can be. We look for interns who have the humility to admit the same about themselves. What have previous interns said? Check out testimonials from our previous interns on our Careers page: https://nourishcap.com/openings There are no costs of any sort to participate in our internships, ever. Our internship is like a class that you get to take for free. Yet, even though our internships provide substantial experiential learning, we recognize that personal financial situations are sometimes an obstacle. If this concerns you, check with your career services center and academic advisers about whether your college offers any form of support that helps students take unpaid internships. Some colleges have scholarships, grants, stipends, or options for gaining class credit; some do not; either way, there are never fees nor expenses of any kind related to our internships, and you should be wary of any company that would try to charge you for anything for an internship. Why is it an unpaid internship? NourishCap is a for-profit company that’s a new division of an existing company (Bashpole Software), which explains the start-up-like environment. Due to these circumstances, we currently don’t provide compensation. In lieu of payment, we provide interns with rich learning experiences such as receiving mentorship, the responsibility to create training, strong recommendation letters based on performance, and the opportunity to graduate with advanced management-based experiences. Bashpole Software, Inc. /dba/ NourishCap complies with all US Department of Labor Federal Internship Guidelines per https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.htm. This position also complies with NACE Criteria for internships per http://www.naceweb.org. What if I’m an international student? International students are encouraged to apply for any and all internships. Show your university this internship description and check with them about their requirements. If selected, confirm everything is approved through your university before beginning an internship. NourishCap will provide documentation for the university in the form of an internship offer agreement.  When may I interview? Due to the volume of applicants, there can sometimes be a backlog that causes delays in our responses or no interview time openings for days to weeks, so read our several internship descriptions thoroughly, decide which if just one position fits you really well, and apply for that one. Please apply for only 1 position at a time, even if you are interested in several, and you can apply at any time of year. Applicants must be at least a college freshman before applying and be enrolled or planning to continue to enroll as an undergraduate or graduate student to be eligible to participate in our internships, not graduated permanently. If you are invited to interview, we prefer you schedule a time with us about halfway between now and when you might want to begin an internship. You may send us a message with your questions at any time. Please do not schedule interviews or informational meetings with us via our website; those are for our prospective clients. Instead, carefully follow the instructions herein. Please apply to our positions via Handshake, not email, if possible. See also below. Initially, you don't need to submit your resume or unofficial transcript via Handshake. If we decide to take the next steps in the application process, we will ask you to supply those materials then. We prefer to have these materials sent via email to confirm that method of communication between you and our team. When applying on Handshake, ensure your GPA is visible to employers. GPA is one of the many factors we consider when screening candidates and reviewing applications. We encourage you to show your GPA on Handshake so that employers who consider a student’s GPA will review your application. If you seek credit or are on a visa, check with your school's Internship Coordinator before interviewing to determine if this position satisfies the criteria. Many of our past interns have received credit through many universities, but you must check with yours individually. We do not require you to pursue credit nor do we guarantee that you’ll receive it; however, we have always successfully assisted those who have sought it in conjunction with internships with us.

You are encouraged to take the creative initiative to complete many possible graphic design projects in conjunction with the company vision. Your training experience will be aligned with the activities of the company during the time of your internship, so while overarching training and responsibilities will be similar to what is described here, the projects and details of the experience will evolve over time.  We don't have a full-time design expert on the team, so the supervision and feedback will be primarily from the business and marketing departments and an external mentor.

Also, look for us to give you the kind of real-world business context and feedback that professors generally cannot provide, not only about your specific skill area but (perhaps more importantly!) feedback from perspectives outside of your major, such as how various other aspects of the business drive needs and decisions for your projects. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it indicates the many projects taking place. You might focus on some of these to the exclusion of others. Tasks and training will change according to business needs. Examples of Relevant Future Careers include but are not limited to: Graphic Designer, Art Director, Freelancer, Illustrator, Media Creator Examples of Relevant Majors include but are not limited to: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Web Design, Marketing, Visual Design, Communication, Social Media Management, Web Development, Digital Arts, Fine Arts Quantitative Resume Accomplishments: After completing this internship, depending on the projects completed, here are the top accomplishments that you might be able to add to your resume:Created many designs featured in my portfolioPracticed making consistent designs throughout multiple projectsGuided many organizations and other interns in design Qualitative Resume Accomplishments: After completing this internship, depending on the projects completed, here are the top accomplishments that you might be able to add to your resume:Learned how to express complex ideas in simple imagesLearned design through the best practicesRefined visual communication to be more persuasivePresented the status and progress of ongoing projects in weekly meetings with supervisors and colleagues for evaluation Participated in and expanded the training procedures that will benefit future interns Learning Objectives:Artistic Creativity: Brainstorm design concepts and use design software applications to create captivating flyers, presentations, web pages, and other marketing materialsMarket Research: Successfully collect and analyze valuable information regarding the needs of nonprofits and accordingly be able to provide recommendations for improvementsReading and Writing Comprehension: Develop excellent oral and written communication skills in professional documents, especially with creating and improving templates and spreadsheetsTime Management, Organization, and Coordination: Focus on different tasks and use time, energy, strength, mental capacity, physical space, etc. effectively and efficiently to achieve the desired outcomeService Orientation: Deepen knowledge of the nonprofit consulting sectorTelecommuting: Participate remotely in both a team and individually Communication: Make connections with your peers and others through a positive personality and sense of humor Technology Learning Areas: Please review these tutorials before beginning an internship with us.Google Suite, especially spreadsheets (Google Sheets) and documents that can be edited collaboratively, such as support.google.com/a/users/answer/9282959 up to and including the Level 3 -- Advanced sectionIllustrator or Inkscape, as vector graphic programs to create clean designs, see https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/tutorials.html and https://inkscape.org/doc/tutorials/basic/tutorial-basic.htmlCanva for leveraging templates to finish designs faster https://www.canva.com/design-school/exploreGoogle Meet video conferencing software, such as cloudskillsboost.google/course_templates/198Systems for Continual Process Improvement, see also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continual_improvement_processAbout UsNourishCap creates Educational, Documentary, Scientific, and Artistic Shows about Health, Mind, and Mushrooms.

Apply to the one that interests you the most. Then, if you are invited for an interview, you may indicate interest in other positions at that time, and we can discuss which position would be best suited for you. Minimum Education and Experience: Applicants must be enrolled in a college or graduate program at the beginning of their internship. Previous internship experience is beneficial but optional. You must have completed some classes relevant to your internship prior to beginning and must show examples of what you know during your interview. The purpose of the internship is to provide training and experience that goes beyond classroom education. Therefore, we rely on each intern (you) to have mastered classroom-level fundamentals related to the internship prior to beginning it, so that you can participate with high-level instructions, minimal direction, and feedback from our professionals and your peers on a weekly basis as a way to learn and grow. We also expect you to fully follow the training materials provided by your syllabus, including taking self-directed learning where specified.  Professionalism Expectations: Internships are unlike the classroom and operate differently than what students do in school. Our internships are meant to challenge you, not to introduce you to a subject for the first time or to tell you exactly how to do everything from the ground up, but also do not expect you to know everything a seasoned professional will. We offer a hands-on experience where interns are empowered to take initiative, problem-solve, use resources, creativity, and personal judgment. After receiving instructions, we expect interns to find their own solutions to problems in collaboration with their peers. We also expect interns to speak up throughout an internship. We work closely with organizations whose mission is to speak and act in ways that take courage for the greater good and value members of our team who can do the same.You will receive individual guidance and feedback from our professionals during weekly meetings with the CEO and staff. You’ll take on roles consistent with the internship but refined to align with current company projects as you collaborate within and across teams in accordance with the amount of initiative you demonstrate. You should be excited to learn new things and be able to take criticism. Our internships are meant to bridge the classroom to the workplace and are designed for those seeking the knowledge-level in between. Frequently Asked Questions:Why Us? Gain real professional training and apply your creativity and drive for project-focused, hands-on learning experiences. You’ll receive individual guidance and feedback to help you on your path to a professional career. Use your time to make a difference. We are all linked, so help us help the world. Why Participate Remotely? We are creating the workplace of the future. It is akin to what the CEO of the multi-billion dollar company Automattic calls Level 5. As a 100% remote company for many years, we have developed remote internship processes that prioritize and achieve freedom, socialization, organization, and personal wellness. See below about networking and meetings. What can we offer you? Real, Hands-on Experience: Rather than the coffee-fetching of a typical internship or the textbook learning of a classroom setting, we provide interns with hands-on experience with real projects. Each intern will have a main project along the lines of the title of the internship position to which they were accepted, plus several side projects, which together create diverse learning experiences.Make a Difference: By participating here, you can help a variety of organizations help the world on a larger scale. Join us in pursuing truth, knowledge, and how best to help the world make itself a better place.Teamwork and Mentorship: NourishCap enables you to work in small teams of typically 1 to 5 interns. You’ll meet regularly with fellow interns on your team. You’ll also meet weekly as a team to gain direct supervision and mentorship from the company’s CEO, senior staff members, and more seasoned interns.Network with Peers, Mentors, and More: Learn networking and how to communicate effectively with executives. This skill will allow you to build lasting impressions and have direct interactions with staff members and fellow interns around the United States and the world. Interns often report connecting with more people in our remote internships than in physical classrooms of comparable size because of how we encourage and facilitate networking meetings.Company Culture: It’s crucial for interns to feel comfortable speaking up for what they believe in. We value suggestions for improvements on all aspects of our company and voicing opinions about projects in team settings. We seek interns who can pursue the career growth they want and the courage to request the kind of work they want to do. We choose intellectually honest individuals with a spirit of independence and interdependence.Workplace Readiness Training: Employers expect students to understand communication soft skills and corporate culture; however, colleges offer few opportunities for students to learn day-to-day workplace fundamentals for behavior. As a result, we’ve developed something unique: our Rules-of-Thumb (RoT’s) training process. The RoTs are the otherwise unwritten rules of professional etiquette based on hard-learned experiences of industry professionals. We’re developing a book and a training system for explicitly teaching this kind of advice to our employees, interns, and eventually to others, which will be valuable for their future careers.Portfolio: With approval from management, this internship also offers opportunities to add examples to your professional portfolio, which you can later use for future job applications.Letter of Recommendation: If you successfully complete one or more internships, we will sign compelling letters of recommendation for you. Previous interns have used these letters to enter our nation’s top graduate programs and excellent post-graduation careers. We can also serve as a reference for various applications you may pursue.Leadership Opportunities: In addition to encouraging each intern to demonstrate personal leadership within their team of fellow interns, we create “Level 3: Management” internships in every department that people can apply to as long as they have participated in at least one prior internship with us. This advanced position gives smart, responsible interns training and practice for leading teams of other interns while under the supervision of a NourishCap supervisor.Academic Credit: If you want work-study or school credit for the internship, we can almost always provide the kind of oversight your university would require. Some educational institutions require prior approval before the start of an internship. It is your responsibility to check with your institution to be sure you meet all requirements for participation before you interview with us. We do NOT require you to enroll in a class or get credit for your internship; some universities do require this of you, others make it optional, and still others do not allow credit. What does a typical day look like? There is no typical day, but there is a typical week.  What does a typical week look like?You will participate in projects either collaboratively in a team or independently on a project that is aligned with what the company is doing during the time of your internship.Every week, you will use your “Personal Syllabus” to complete weekly tasks and log your process.In weekly team meetings, you will be guided by supervisors who have years of experience. You may ask questions about department supervisors during your interview. In weekly team meetings, you’ll show your syllabus log to your team via a screenshare and show, get feedback on, and take notes for the next steps with your project.In addition, you'll have intern-only meetings throughout the week to collaborate with your peers, review each other's work, and answer each other's questions.You’ll have access to aRule of Thumb (RoT) book that contains our advice about corporate culture and communications soft skills: these are mostly from lessons we learned the 'hard way' in the workplace, things that no one taught us in college classes but that most employers expect you to know. What are the schedule expectations for this internship? We have team and individual meetings every week via Google Meet. We expect you to be generally available for meetings during US Eastern time business hours.Aside from scheduled meetings, you will have your choice for daily start and stop times; you can create a routine that works for you as long as you prioritize your internship.For internships taken during the fall or spring, participate part-time. For internships during the summer, participate full-time. Internships can be a mix of part- and full-time.Manage your schedule well to fulfill the weekly internship time you agree to.Internship start and end dates are flexible according to your university’s calendar for classes. What is the expected time commitment? We offer both part and full-time internships with rolling start dates (starting whichever week of the year works best for you) and can generally work around your class schedule, as long as you commit to a routineYou can switch from full-time to part-time, or vice versa, as long as the duration adds up to a total of at least 400 hours, with 480 hours preferred.If full-time: strongly preferred in summer and available throughout the year, 40 hours/week (or whatever is the maximum your college allows) lasts for about 3 months.If part-time: during school sessions, 12-20 hours/week (or whatever is the maximum your college allows) for about 6 months.  When may I get started? If we make you an internship offer, you may start either as soon as you like or later in the year when your schedule permits: we have an orientation/onboarding meeting almost every Thursday for new interns. When will I start a project? Your first week will consist of onboarding and getting familiar with the environment of the internship, including the team and company resources. After about 1-2 weeks, projects are assigned to you during the weekly team check-in meetings. These weekly sessions allow you to meet with your team to discuss plans, tasks, and feedback. Who is more likely to succeed in this internship position? People with:a genuine interest in mushroomsclassroom experience relevant to this positionproactive mindsets that like their voices to be hearddetailed note-taking habitstime management skills who are organized and dependable an eagerness to take initiative with their ideas and communicate early and often How does the interview process work? First, suppose an applicant meets our preliminary qualifications. In that case, we send them a message via Handshake with detailed instructions for setting up an interview that must be followed precisely; otherwise, we will decline the interview. Generally, each applicant has at least one interview during which their aptitude and knowledge are evaluated. If this goes well, the applicant will be given a follow-up task to examine how much they understand about our company and their position. Then, we typically send a decision on an internship offer within a few business days. If I apply, what are the odds I’ll be accepted? We post internship positions to nearly 1,200 colleges across the USA and receive hundreds of applications for each position for each season of the year. We generally select between 1 and 5 people per position per season (Winter/Spring, Summer, or Fall/Winter). Although our interviews are friendly and conversational, there are many factors that we carefully consider before, during, and after each interview. If you are selected for an interview, there is no guarantee that you will be given an offer. Upon selection for an interview, we will send you a message with everything you need to do to prepare for your interview, and you will be expected to follow all of the instructions thoroughly. It would be best if you took some time to prepare for your interview.  Can I participate in more than one position? Not simultaneously; you may only participate in one position at a time. However, we welcome and encourage sequential internships, meaning participating in one team at one time and then another team at another time.  How will I be supervised, and who will be my supervisor? Each team will report directly to their department manager (who will be your supervisor) every week by screen-sharing a log about their training and accomplishments.
