Yardi is a place where learning and creativity are encouraged. Internships are a vital part of our company culture, offering a fun and informative way to introduce graduating students to the technology industry. The Yardi internship program offers hands-on work experience, professional development and networking opportunities. Our interns can be found working on everything from programming and eLearning to client support and marketing.<\/p>\n

We asked a few of our current interns and recently hired team members about their experiences. Below, they provide insight into what types of projects, skills training and career opportunities an internship can offer graduating students.<\/p>\n

Applying<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Jason Rollman, Manager in Client Services at Yardi, \u201cInterns apply and are interviewed in the same manner as someone who is looking for full-time employment.\u201d College students majoring in Math, Finance, Economics, Statistics, Computer Science or Accounting are preferred. After being hired, flexible weekly scheduling allows students to prioritize academics while typically working a minimum of 15 hours per week.<\/p>\n

Silvana Keiling, a former intern and current software development engineer, applied for the Yardi Romania internship program<\/a> after learning about it at her university. \u201cIf you wanted to apply for an internship,\u00a0it was pretty hard not to choose Yardi Romania,\u201d she reflected. As a global company, we support a technical internship program<\/a> at our offices in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and internships across our offices in Canada. In the United States, Yardi works closely within the University of California and California State University systems and recently expanded internships to the East Coast.<\/p>\n

College, reflected that his professional values aligned with those of the company. \u201cQualities such as\u00a0integrity and honesty are two qualities that are extremely important to me. So far I feel that Yardi feels the same, which is great to see from a large company,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Working collaboratively and providing positive customer service are key to the culture at Yardi. \u201cEveryone is so welcoming, easy to approach and always willing to help,\u201d said Sarah Chan, a fourth year Communications major from the University of California, Santa Barbara. \u201cGetting to meet Mr. Yardi himself is still one of the highlights of this internship,\u201d Chan added. Gianfranco Leto, a third year Computer Science major at Hofstra University, echoed similar sentiments: \u201cThe energy of my team and how well they respect one another, make each other laugh and serve as really great teachers makes me look forward to working every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

We believe involving interns in every day office projects and tasks develops professional skills and offers hands-on experience. \u201cAn internship is like a job in that it carries the same level of professionalism and interns are accountable for their time. This is done to help students prepare for the real world,\u201d shares Rollman. Interns are included in all aspects of the job, from meetings and client support requests to team outings. \u201cFrom talking with my coworkers at lunch to working with them on a specific job, this whole experience of sharing my passion for the software industry to those in it has been eye-opening,\u201d shares James Kurniawan, a third year Computer Science major at the University of British Columbia.<\/p>\n

Shares Ryan Pyle, a fourth year Financial Mathematics and Statistics major from the University of California, Santa Barbara: \u201cNo two days are the same here in the office and it provides challenging yet rewarding day to day interactions. The training and support I have received from management, my mentor and many other colleagues have made this an unforgettable experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
