Local Grown Salads is committed to Riipen. We have worked with over a dozen universities and 200 students.

We work in four different ways:

  • Project Leadership Role - These are Interns who commit a minimum of 12 weeks. full time.. Typically part of a course requirement.
  • Assignment - The students work in a group under the direction of a Professor. The work will be in class or independent. This may be highly interactive with Local Grown Salads or just a few meetings.
  • Part Time - These are interns who work with us a 10 or so hours a week. We will put them on teams or provide specific deliverables.
  • Consultancy- These projects are intended to be like consulting assignments. We provide an outline of what is needed, we meet once, and then Local Grown Salads receives a report.
  • Research - These are research driven projects that are intended for professors who want to publish a paper.

We are looking for a Full Time Intern who can coordinate our Student Experience program.

They will do the following:

  • Help identify all the roles we need filled
  • Reach out to Universities on Riipen (and other platforms)
  • Present our Student Experience story
  • Identify new projects when presented with Professors
  • Ensure the Students have an excellent experience with us
  • Onboard/Offboard Students/Projects
  • Find their own replacement

The person must be:

  • Able to present with confidence

  • Be incredibly organized - there are lots of people, projects, students to keep track of
