Human Resources Internship

At TerrAscend, we are on a mission to shape the future of the cannabis industry by creating leading marijuana-based therapies for patients and developing premium products for legalized adult recreational use.  We are one of the largest and fastest growing multi-state, vertically integrated cannabis operators in North America.  We’re on a roll and are just getting started! 

Are you interested in exploring a career in the cannabis industry but don’t know where to start? Consider joining TerrAscend’s internship program and gain firsthand experience of what it is like to work in one of the fastest growing, most dynamic industries of today!

TerrAscend’s Internship Program for current college students runs for ~12 weeks, and offers hands-on experience working with actual business initiatives and projects. In addition to the day-to-day work, Interns will participate in a learning and networking program, spend time working with a mentor, and present a Capstone project to our business leaders. We are now accepting applications for students to begin a Summer internship from late May through early August 2024!

It's a Join Effort

We believe that How We Work Together Matters.  Our priority is to assemble a team that believes not just in what we do but how and why we do it.  Our most successful team members know that being of service to our patients, our customers, and each other is what separates us from other organizations. Our continued success is dependent upon bringing together the brightest minds in business with best-in-class cultivation and elevated patient and customer experiences, so we continue to set the standard for the industry.
