Former TechGirls Intern

"I’ve grown so much since starting this internship! This was my first internship, so I developed both my hard and soft skills. I’ll be able to take my knowledge of proposals with me along with new social media techniques. This internship is a perfect fit for a student. I gained valuable work and personal experience through a flexible and an accommodating work schedule."

  • Our Human Resources Manager works collaboratively with other Legacy staff to attract qualified talent. As we receive applications, we aim to be responsive to your efforts. Please know we will contact you at some point during a hiring cycle to let you know the outcome of your application with us, but due to the volume of applications received, we are not able to accept phone calls, and cannot always respond to emails in a timely fashion. We strive to put the “human touch” back in human resources!
