Corporate Relations Intern

Internship Duration: 3 months

Full-time CTC (Post-Internship Offer): 6-8 LPA (based on performance)

Altera is reimagining what business education should look like in the digital age.

Traditional MBA programs were built for an offline world. While companies struggle to find

execution-ready talent, students lack access to careers they deserve. We're solving this by

reimagining business education from scratch - curriculum, pedagogy, placements - all built around

what drives outcomes in the real world.

This is not your typical placement office internship. As a Corporate Relations Intern, you will

work at the intersection of industry, talent, and education - helping build relationships with leading

organizations and create meaningful career opportunities for Altera learners.

You will support the team in identifying and engaging with potential employer partners,

understanding their hiring requirements, and driving conversations that can lead to placements,

internships, live projects, and other industry engagement opportunities.

This is a 0 → 1 journey. You will get the opportunity to work closely with recruiters, hiring

managers, HR leaders, learners, and internal teams while gaining hands-on exposure to corporate

partnerships, business development, and career outcomes.

This is a 3-month paid internship that may be converted into a full-time offer based on

performance.

About Altera Institute

Altera Institute is a Gurgaon headquartered education institute that is redefining the gold standard

of management education for the digital and AI first world. By doing so, it is building the next

generation of business leaders in the country. The mission is to build employability through

education.

Education is a hard and important problem to solve for. India needs to double its higher education

infrastructure in order to serve its large demographic of youth. Within what exists, quality is a large

problem with studies reporting that 50% of Indian graduates are unemployable. Add to this the shift in the skills ecosystem at the workplace with AI and digitization. All of this has led to a

higher-education infrastructure that is unable to serve the aspirations of its students. So, you have

MBA students from legacy institutes who are unplaced and professionals who are struggling to level up in their careers because they don't have the skills to progress.

The secret sauce is its instructional design, a learner centric ethos and a bar for quality that runs

across touchpoints. This reflects in a 80%+ NPS across all programs since inception.

We are looking for smart passionate folks to join us in this mission of building a better, smarter and more outcome oriented education system. We are a young company and each role has the ability to make a large impact. We can assure of a very talent dense, intellectually honest, action oriented and collaborative environment.

We are sure that you will join for the opportunity and stay for the impact of seeing your work help

thousands of others.
