SUMMARY: Summer internship starting in June 2026, ending August 2026. The position can be worked full-time (40 hours per week) or part-time (20 hours per week). This internship is fully remote, though applicants from the Washington, DC area will have the opportunity to work from the Goodwill Industries International (GII) headquarters in Rockville, Maryland if desired. This internship pays $18.00 per hour.

This role will support the Data Center of Excellence (Data COE) team across five key areas: documentation of data processes and reporting logic, exploratory data analysis beyond standard grant reporting, data pipeline and dashboard cleanup and maintenance, qualitative data capture from member research and surveys, and general research to support grant strategy and benchmarking.

SPECIFIC DUTIES1:

• Draft and refine plain-language documentation of how metrics are calculated, data is cleaned, and reports are generated for grant programs.
• Develop step-by-step guides for updating and maintaining Power BI dashboards and grant reporting processes.
• Perform exploratory analysis on grant data (e.g., credential and placement outcomes, wage trends, training impact) and prepare summary findings for the team.
• Assist with data quality checks, including identifying duplicates, missing values, and inconsistencies across datasets.
• Support data pipeline tasks such as validating outputs, documenting code logic, and assisting with light cleanup of Python notebooks.
• Synthesize qualitative feedback and patterns from member meetings, surveys, and program interactions into structured summaries.
• Conduct landscape research on how peer organizations handle subgrantee data reporting, metric definitions, and data collection practices.
• Support preparation of materials for internal and external stakeholder meetings as needed.
