Training
At Impact fostering a culture of learning is not only one of our core values but also a companywide priority. Our in-house team of experts at The Impact Leadership Institute provides extensive onboarding to all employees, preparing them for a successful career at Impact. This period is equally about self-discovery of employee strengths and assimilating employees into the Impact culture. Interns will attend our 3-day on-boarding course known as “Foundations” and upon completion, they will then go through a 1-day sales workshop on the art of prospecting.
Career Opportunity
Internships are a mutually beneficial agreement between Impact and those entering the workforce. It allows young professionals to gain real-life experience while test-driving a potential career.

Upon completion of this internship, each individual will have a review with his/her direct manager. If the experience has been mutually beneficial between the manager, team, and intern, a full-time opportunity with Impact may be extended upon graduation, so long as the hiring pipeline allows for such move.
