Research Internship: Psychosocial Career & Life Planning Tools

Age Brilliantly is a community platform for people who want fulfilling lives to 100+. What do you want to do with your life? What’s important; what’s not? At every stage of development - from teens in college considering initial career options, through young and middle-age adults who are focusing on doing things that are meaningful and generate income while at the same time raising a family, to mature adults focused on leveraging their experience, expertise and/or passions for new career opportunities and creating a legacy – we try to make good decisions, often without the benefit of great planning and self-assessment tools.

The goal of this project is to identify some of the best tools available to share with people so they can take charge of their lives and live better. Who knows, maybe we’ll even create new ones to help people where gaps exist!

This internship is perfect for people interested in psychosocial development and psychometric tools. Please visit Agebrilliantly.org BEFORE replying to this ad so you understand how we’re currently meeting the needs of mature adults. Then tell us why you’re interested in this new, very exciting initial research opportunity, and what special skills you bring to it!

We receive 100s of applicants and we are only interested in interviewing interns who :

1. Can learn important skills for a possible future career
2. Have experiences that demonstrate the value you bring to our team
3. Are truly committed to helping people of all ages maximize opportunities to lead happy and fulfilling 100+ year lives.  You do that by joining AgeBrilliantly.org  (it’s free).
