Instructional Design Intern

Minneapolis, Minnesota

At Tactile Medical, we specialize in developing at-home therapy devices to treat lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency and respiratory illnesses.

Tactile Medical is offering an internship opportunity for a student who is seeking to accelerate their professional experience and career trajectory in Instructional Design. Join a driven organization that is a compassionate leader in helping people living with chronic illnesses live better lives with at-home therapy devices.

In this 11-week internship program, our Instructional Design intern will join other interns to start out in our corporate headquarters campus in Minneapolis, MN for the first three days to learn from leaders across the entire organization. Our leaders will walk through how each of Tactile Medical's collaborative teams identify patients, provide them with care, and ensure their lives are improved. We will provide an exclusively transparent view on how we at Tactile embrace change by proactively innovating our products, processes, and challenge each other.

After the first three days on campus, the Instructional Design intern is paired with a mentor on the team to dive into their internship focus. You will be given an authentic experience by working through real development of educational content and contributing to meaningful projects. On the final day, all our interns will return to campus to present their accomplishments and celebrate on how they made a direct impact on helping people live a better quality of life.

The Instructional Design Intern will support the development of high-quality, learner centered educational resources that enable operational excellence across the field teams within the organization. The intern will work with the Sales and Patient Education Instructional Design team gaining hands-on experience in content development, SME collaboration, LMS workflow, and adult learning application. This role provides meaningful work, guided development, and exposure to a full design cycle in a corporate medical device environment.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
