Miami-Dade & Broward

On-site field work and in-office learning when not dispatched. Commercial environments across South Florida — data closets, riser rooms, rooftops, and more.

40+ Years of Technology Leadership in South Florida

Since 1984, Communications Unlimited Inc. has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and trust. We are a multi-generational, family-owned technology provider delivering Internet, VoIP, security, and cloud services to commercial clients throughout South Florida.

As a small business, we offer something larger organizations often cannot provide — direct mentorship, real responsibility, and exposure to every aspect of the operation, from field work to backend network management.

Training and mentorship are a core part of this opportunity. We do not expect students to know everything. If you are motivated, reliable, and willing to learn, you will thrive here.

What the Student Will Learn

Students will gain practical experience in both field operations and network management.

  • Installation and maintenance of Internet, VoIP, and security systems
  • Structured cabling basics — Cat6, fiber, patch panels, terminations
  • Understanding real-world network layouts, diagrams, and schematics
  • Exposure to commercial environments — data closets, riser rooms, rooftops
  • Backend network operations, monitoring, and documentation
  • How a small technology business operates day-to-day
  • Professional communication with clients and vendors

When field work is not required, the student will learn the backend of network operations, system monitoring, and internal workflows.

What We Are Looking For

Not all skills are required — a strong desire to learn matters most.

  • Interest in networking, telecommunications, or IT infrastructure
  • Basic understanding of networking concepts or cabling
  • Familiarity or coursework exposure to Cisco, Fortinet, or similar hardware
  • Comfortable working hands-on in commercial environments
  • Willingness to learn safety standards and follow best practices
  • Strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail

Who This Is For

  • High school graduates or vocational students studying IT or networking
  • Students seeking hands-on experience beyond the classroom
  • Individuals interested in learning directly from a small business owner
  • Students exploring a long-term career path rather than a short-term internship

Why Communications Unlimited Inc.

Our goal is to provide meaningful short-term experience with the intent of identifying the right long-term fit. The student will work closely with the CEO and gain insight into both technical operations and business decision-making.
