Internship Opportunity

Heritage Consulting Inc.

Heritage Consulting Inc., a Philadelphia-based historic preservation consulting firm with clients nationwide, is collecting resumes for one or more possible internship assignments this spring and summer.  The intern(s) will work directly with firm principal Donna Ann Harris, either full or part time from April to September to assist on several projects.  Projects may include but are not limited to the following issues:

• Library, journal and internet research on a variety of downtown revitalization, fundraising or preservation topics
• Develop on line and papers surveys, tabulate, analyze and produce draft reports on data for review
• Assist with focus groups, contact participants, take notes, prepare draft reports for review
• Research topics and issues related to historic house museums, commercial revitalization or nonprofit organizational development.  Write drafts of portions of reports.
• Create graphics, report covers, survey forms, simple maps, spreadsheets, powerpoint graphics or other picture research. 
• Proofread documents, proposals, reports as needed, write sections of reports, proposals or case studies as needed

Internship Location

The intern will work off site on his or her own PC and Microsoft operating system.  If you use a MAC, please discuss this during the interview, as you must have Microsoft Suite.  Progress meetings will occur weekly during the internship period at Heritage Consulting Inc.’s co working facility in Philadelphia Center City.

Stipend and Timetable

The internship period is flexible, full or part time.  Depending on projects in the office, there may be more than one internship opportunity.  We anticipate a pay of $15 an hour to start. Depending on the need, some projects may have very limited turnaround time and the stipend may be project based.  Interns will be 1099 employees, no benefits offered.  There may be opportunities to attend client meetings, but these will be determined later.

Experience

Intern must have excellent Microsoft Office Suite, library and Internet searching skills. Good skills in graphic design programs are useful.  High quality writing skills are essential.  Excellent attention to detail is expected.  An intern with course work in urban planning, public policy, nonprofit management and/or historic preservation is preferred, and those enrolled in Masters Degree programs are encouraged to apply.

In the past five years, our summer interns have continued to work for us after their internship ends and  into the school year and after. We promoted our last two interns to associates in our firm and we actively assisted them to find other full time positions as they began their careers.  Heritage Consulting Inc. is an excellent place to start a career in preservation planning and economic development.
