About The Position

Committed to serving global societal needs. ASTM International positively impacts public health and safety, consumer confidence, and overall quality of life. We integrate consensus standards - developed with our international membership of volunteer technical experts - and innovative services to improve lives... Helping our world work better. Seeking a highly motivated intern to support the development of a comprehensive training course roadmap and a business plan for delivering new exo- and robotics-education products. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, workforce development, marketing strategy, and standards, giving the intern hands-on experience shaping one of the fastest-growing segments of ASTM’s global portfolio. The ideal candidate is curious, organized, an excellent communicator, and eager to work in a collaborative environment where technical concepts must be translated into clear, engaging learning pathways and actionable business strategies. This internship focuses on three integrated areas: training product strategy and design, business model development, and research and communication. Interns will learn how technical standards shape robotics deployment and workforce needs, conduct a gap analysis of existing robotics training offerings across industry, academia, and government, and help develop a structured training roadmap aligned with ASTM F45 focus areas such as applications, safety, interoperability, humanoids, and mobile robots. They will also build skills in developing scalable business plans for training programs, including pricing tiers, value propositions, revenue models, and customer segmentation, while using basic analytics to estimate demand, impact, and ROI. Finally, interns will strengthen cross-functional abilities by collaborating with standards professionals, engineers, and marketing teams; improving written communication by translating technical insights into clear training materials and stakeholder-ready documents; and presenting findings to internal leadership while refining recommendations based on feedback.
