SPRING 2027 INTERNSHIP

Economic Development Internship

Real experience. Real connections. Something different every day.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how business, industry, and community growth come together in Baldwin County.

At Baldwin Alliance, no two days look quite the same. One day, you might be researching industry trends and helping shape a report. The next, you’re collaborating on a new initiative, attending a community event, or meeting with local business leaders.

We’re looking for a curious, motivated college student who’s ready to learn, contribute, and take on a variety of meaningful projects alongside our team.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

This isn’t an internship spent doing the same task every day. You’ll work alongside our staff on projects that support business growth, workforce development, and economic opportunity across Baldwin County.

Depending on the day, you might be:

  • Researching & Analyzing: Exploring economic trends, gathering industry data, and turning information into useful insights.
  • Collaborating & Creating: Supporting special projects, preparing presentations, developing materials, and contributing ideas alongside our team.
  • Connecting & Engaging: Attending meetings and events, assisting with business outreach, and interacting with community and industry leaders.
  • Making Things Happen: Helping coordinate the details behind initiatives, events, and projects that move our work forward.


You’ll gain firsthand exposure to economic development, collaborate with a team working across industries, and build practical skills that translate across a wide range of careers.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re less concerned with having the perfect résumé and more interested in how you think, communicate, and approach new opportunities.

You might be a great fit if you:

  • Are curious, motivated, and enjoy learning about different industries, businesses, and ideas.
  • Take initiative, work independently, and can figure things out when a project is unfamiliar.
  • Communicate clearly and feel comfortable interacting with people in professional settings.
  • Stay organized and can manage multiple projects and priorities.
  • Enjoy collaborating, contributing ideas, and approaching your work with professionalism and good judgment.


Qualifications:

  • Currently enrolled in a college or university.
  • Pursuing a degree in business, economics, communications, or a related field. Other majors are welcome.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel.
  • Interest in using project management software and other technology to work more effectively is a plus.


Previous internship experience is not required. We value initiative, a willingness to learn, and the ability to take ownership of your work.
