Business Development Internship
Course Hero is the #1 online learning platform, supplying students at over 4,500 schools
with the top resources and collaborative tools to broaden their education. We are
expanding classroom walls by providing an open platform where learners and educators
of all ages can share and access high quality learning resources in a wide variety of
subjects. Whether someone strives to become an expert in macroeconomics or is
simply interested in learning more about abstract expressionism, Course Hero provides
the academic resources and educational tools to achieve those goals.
Course Hero has recently partnered with Books for Africa, an international non-profit
organization, to create the Knowledge Drive (CourseHero.com/KnowledgeDrive).
Through this initiative we are strengthening the powerful academic resource that we
provide for college students while also donating books to children and schools in Africa
(110,000+ books and counting!). Through the Knowledge Drive, Course Hero is building
a brighter future for children and students around the world. As a leading advocate for
the improvement of education through technology, our goals and mission have been
featured in Business Week, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Business Development Internship Position Description:
Course Hero has recently partnered with Books for Africa, an international non-profit
organization, to create the Knowledge Drive (CourseHero.com/KnowledgeDrive). The
Knowledge Drive initiative, in partnership with Books for Africa, is working to build a
powerful learning resource for college students while providing children in Africa with the
gift of education and the ability to attain a better quality of life. With the help of students
and interns across the country, we have already donated 100,000+ books, and hope to
continue building a brighter future for children and students around the world in the
coming months and years.
We are now accepting applications for our paid Internship and Professional Development
Program which allows select students to help shape the future of our Knowledge Drive
initiative, while also developing, applying, and honing their professional skill set. As an
initiative whose mission is built around helping students learn more effectively, we believe
that students must be actively involved in helping us do so.
Those that are accepted will help lead the Knowledge Drive initiative at their school, which
is building a more comprehensive resource for students while also supporting the
development of education abroad. In addition to leading the Knowledge Drive, interns will
also work with the Knowledge Drive Team to provide insights on how we can provide an
even better initiative and resource for education.
Accepted applicants will also be enrolled in our Professional Development Program which
provides teaching, application, and refinement of a student’s professional skill set.
Designed to set interns up for success in the professional world, the program includes:
- Leadership and one on one coaching from a Director
- Weekly workshops on specific professional skills (ranging from communication to
innovation) paired with structured goals to help strengthen and hone those skills
- Personalized critiques and development plans that focus on improving areas
connected to the students desired career path
- Professional references upon completion and graduation from the program
- Management positions for those that truly excel
The ideal candidates are:
- Interested in business, communications, technology, and/or entrepreneurship
- Well-spoken, outgoing, creative, and confident
- Involved on campus (a position of leadership is a plus)
- Experienced with social media tools like Facebook and Twitter
