Disclaimer:

At Neuropath, strong performance matters. If an intern’s performance demonstrates consistent proficiency in required skills, they may be invited to continue their internship into the next semester. For current students, the internship may be extended throughout their academic enrollment, provided they maintain the expected standards of performance and professional conduct.

Our Corporate and Administrative Internship positions at Neuropath are designed as structured learning and development experiences, with a minimum commitment of 3-6 months. Completion of our internship program — whether as an undergraduate or as a graduate with a bachelor’s degree — does not guarantee employment. While participation in the internship may lead to consideration for a paid role, transition to employment is not automatic or guaranteed. Hiring decisions are determined by organizational needs, position availability, and the individual’s demonstrated readiness for the role.

Interns seeking to transition into a paid position must meet the following criteria:

• Successful completion of the full 6-month internship term.


• Completion of all required training and workflow processes.


• Demonstrated proficiency in all core responsibilities, with the ability to perform assigned tasks independently and comprehensively without direct supervision.


• Successful performance reviews at both the 90-day and 180-day milestones.


• Ability to commute to our office in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Current students who have not yet graduated are not eligible for paid employment in administrative positions but may continue as interns. Candidates without a degree will be considered for entry-level roles (e.g., Client Services) on a case-by-case basis.

All interns — regardless of educational background — must exhibit the level of competency required to meet the demands of the position, including adaptability, technical proficiency, communication skills, and a thorough understanding of our operational standards. This applies equally to entry-level roles such as Client Service Administrators (CSA). We do not hire interns into trainee positions; all hires must be prepared to assume full responsibilities from day one.
