Build Future Leadership
At Heritage Auctions, we're committed to mentoring and developing the next generation of leaders in our industry. We don't just offer internships, we offer real experiences, real mentorship, and the space to make meaningful contributions.
Our interns work side by side with experts, gaining insight, building confidence, and exploring what leadership looks like in action.
"The internship was unlike any work experience I've ever had. It gave me autonomy and let me grow into myself---and how I want to operate as an employee whose actions have consequences." --- Hattie Northrip, UI/UX Intern

Heritage Apprenticeship vs Internship
Internships are ideal for students or recent graduates looking to gain exposure across departments, build networks, and contribute to real projects in a short-term, learning-focused environment. They typically span a semester or summer term.
Apprenticeships are longer-term, skill-based opportunities focused on immersive training in a specific area. These roles are designed for individuals ready to dive deep, develop expertise, and potentially grow into permanent positions. Apprentices work side-by-side with experts, contributing directly to daily operations while learning through hands-on experience.

Learn & Grow
At Heritage Auctions, learning isn't limited to observation. Our interns are encouraged to dive in, ask questions, and take initiative. You'll gain real-world knowledge that goes far beyond the classroom, whether you're conducting research, contributing to active projects, or collaborating with seasoned professionals.
Every step of the internship is designed to stretch your potential and sharpen your skills in an environment that values curiosity, creativity, and growth.
"I learned how to use a variety of resources to research art and artists to come up with monetary estimates---an opportunity most undergraduates are not offered." --- Gillian Hill, Fine & Decorative Arts Intern
