Business
The world of business affects every part of our society. A business, or firm, is a legal entity that provides products or services for profit. Firms sell their products to consumers, govern
ments, and other businesses. Most small and medium sized firms are part of a specific industry, such as telecommunications, textiles, or pharmaceuticals whereas many larger firms have business units in multiple industries and may own multiple brands and companies. The world's biggest businesses are, by financial measures, larger than some of the world's countries. Careers in business are as exciting as the possibilities are diverse. However, careers in business are not limited to large corporations. Small businesses and other "closely held" organizations employ more people than large public corporations. Over 50 million people in the United States work for companies with less than 500 people.
As a Discovery business Intern, you will gain exposure to the collective processes involved in running a business. Those interning in the field of business acquire knowledge of accounting, management, finance, production, marketing, distribution, purchasing, and/or sales. A business internship is a great choice if you are looking for broad experience applicable to any industry. We will work with you to find the best internship for your interests and aptitudes.

My boss at the investment firm
trusted me enough to let me work on confidential projects. He gave me
really helpful tips for my future. I learned that the industry involves
creativity, strategy, and that business can be really interesting.

My internship taught me the
importance of customer relations. I learned this by sitting in on
meetings and by helping my mentor identify potential clients and
competitors.

product development and helping with a magazine photo shoot at my
internship at a cosmetics company. I learned a lot about running a
business and I realized that I really like world of business and
working in an office.

My favorite part of the job was new things each day. I cannot imagine
working on the same thing day in and day out. So it was awesome to do
so many different projects and learn about so many different aspects of
business in one summer

Before the internship began I could not have dreamed of having the
ability to establish international trade for my company. But, my
internship mentor helped me along the way and now we have the ability
to sell our products worldwide

My
main interests were Finance and Business management. CE was able to
