Pursuing a degree in the wellness industry? Consider an Internship with HealthSource Solutions!

When you’re a college student pursuing a degree in health, wellness, or fitness, classroom learning provides the foundation, but real-world experience is what truly sets you apart. That’s where HealthSource Solutions’ Internship Program comes in. Offering immersive, hands-on internships across corporate wellness, fitness, and worksite services, HealthSource Solutions provides a springboard for students eager to explore meaningful careers in the wellness industry. An internship with HealthSource Solutions offers you this real-world experience, but more than that, it offers direction, growth, and real preparation for your career.

Apply Classroom Knowledge in a Real-World Setting

We spoke with three former interns — Colin, Alyssa, and Shannon — who are now full-time employees at HealthSource Solutions. Their experiences show how an internship at HealthSource Solutions can be more than just a résumé builder, by becoming an excellent introduction to the business world they hoped to join.

“The HealthSource Solutions internship provided invaluable hands-on experience that allowed me to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings,” says Colin, now working in corporate fitness. “I engaged with a diverse network of professionals — from fitness specialists and health coaches to program managers and corporate partners.” This exposure deepened his understanding of how wellness programs are developed and run, giving him a true insider’s perspective.

Explore Your Interests and Career Direction

At HealthSource Solutions, internships are student-driven and guided by mentors, giving you the freedom to explore what you're most passionate about. “I was able to experience all the different buckets within the organization,” shares Shannon, now a team member in corporate fitness. “It helped me understand the industry and tailor the internship toward my career goals.” Alyssa, who now works in Worksite Services as a program coordinator, agrees: “It’s a great way to get real-life experience before going into the workforce and helps determine what type of job to search for.”

Discover a Supportive, Flexible Work Culture

The flexibility HealthSource Solutions gives to its interns allows them space to be creative and make a real impact. “I expected the corporate environment to be rigid and formal,” Colin admits. “Instead, I found it to be adaptive and collaborative. Programs were tailored in real-time, and everyone’s input was valued.”

Build Career-Ready Skills and Confidence

Interns at HealthSource Solutions don’t just observe — they lead. From organizing wellness programs to leading group fitness classes and participating in client meetings, the experience builds real skills. “I gained confidence in public speaking and developed essential skills like time management, adaptability, and professionalism,” Colin reflects. Shannon adds, “Leading client meetings pushed me out of my comfort zone. That experience prepared me for my current role.”

Set Realistic Expectations for the Wellness Industry

Through her internship, Alyssa also gained insight into the various partners and teams—such as insurance brokers and employee resource groups — that influence wellness initiatives. “Not every task is glamorous,” says Alyssa. “Some days are exciting, and others can feel repetitive, but that’s what real work looks like.”

Advice for Students Entering the Working World

From their first-hand experience, these former interns offer advice for others entering the professional world. Said Colin: “Ask questions. Be open to learning. Step outside your comfort zone — that’s where the best growth happens.” Alyssa adds: “Research the roles you’re interested in. Understand the responsibilities and stay open to new opportunities —even those outside your initial focus.”
