We’re on a mission to empower every team to thrive!

Our Spark Internship Program provides an opportunity for students and learners to join our team of Qwirks in doing just that.

We value fresh perspectives and believe that the best learning happens through doing. If you’re hungry to learn and dive into a fast-moving technology company, we’d love to hear from you!

Applications for summer will open in February 2027.

What is Spark?

The Spark Internship Program is a hands-on, 10-week internship running from May 25th through August 6th. Interns work 30 hours a week.

This program is for students (freshmen, sophomores, and juniors) and recent graduating seniors who are able to work from our office in Omaha, Nebraska during the summer. You’ll be a part of an intern class with other local students to work and learn together!

Why Spark?

Our Spark Internship Program is rooted in our belief that a summer internship should be more than just coffee runs and networking. At Quantum Workplace, interns will be exposed to new ways of thinking, real world problems, and concepts that you won’t learn in a classroom.

It’s our hope that these experiences will "spark" curiosity, inspiration, and reflection for our interns while bringing new and exciting ideas to Quantum Workplace.

What to expect.

You'll spend your summer at Quantum Workplace in Omaha, NE (in-office required) working closely with creative professionals who are experts in their field. You'll own projects and contribute as a crucial member of the team. Learning opportunities include:

  • LinkedIn + resume building workshop
  • Job shadowing various roles within Quantum Workplace
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Career readiness training

 

What makes us different.

We’re not looking for a specific major or resume from our interns. We want to learn what makes you YOU, and tailor an internship experience around it. Trust us, you’ll find your spark at Quantum Workplace.

Quantum Workplace FAQs

Explore our internship FAQ to learn how to apply, what teams hire interns, where internships are based, and what to expect from your summer at Quantum Workplace.

What is Quantum Workplace?

Quantum Workplace is a talent management software that helps leaders build thriving teams that fuel business success.

We help HR and people leaders unlock talent insights across engagement, performance, development, and recognition—giving them a more connected and complete view of their teams.

How does the application process work?

After you apply, you’ll receive an email confirming your application. From there, qualified applicants will be invited to complete phone or video interviews with our team.

What teams have interns?

We have interns across the company. This year it was Employee Success, Product Design, Technology, and Insights.

What is DEI like at Quantum Workplace?

We believe in the value of diversity. We strive to continuously increase the diversity of our team and create an inclusive culture. In 2021, we put together a group of employees (Qwirks) to form a Diversity Council. The Diversity Council of Quantum Workplace exists to Make Work Better Every Day by ensuring that every Qwirk feels like they belong and can Be You.

Where are your internships located?

We're based in Omaha, Nebraska! Interns will work out of our our Omaha Office for the summer while offering flexibility in your schedule as needed.

Do you provide housing to student interns?

No, students must supply their own living accommodations.

What is the summer timeline?

The official 2027 internship program is Tuesday, May 25th – Friday, August 6th. Interns’ first day in the office will be May 25th. To create space for development opportunities, interns will maintain consistent core hours of 9am-3pm (M-F) or 9am-4pm (M-Th).
Of course, WFH or hybrid flexibility is up to manager discretion.
Interns are able to work up to 30 hours/week

Where grade/level do candidates need to be in?

All class years are welcome to apply, though we give preference to students who aren't graduating seniors - we're looking for students who'll be back on campus the following year, so we can invest in them early and build toward a longer-term relationship with QW. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are the sweet spot for this program, but a standout graduating senior won't be ruled out.

"Overall, I have had a wonderful experience working here and was able to grow in many different aspects, personally and professionally. I had conversations with other people that are working internships elsewhere and they were not getting as much enjoyment out of their gig compared to me."
