The Rising Junior Internship Program connects highly motivated students who have completed their sophomore year with internship experiences that will further their education in direct/interactive marketing and create awareness of the varied career opportunities available in the field.
Why sophomores? The end of sophomore year is a crucial point for many students. It is the time to start thinking about focusing studies on a specific area. A rewarding internship at this juncture will often play a large part in a student’s eventual career choice.
Internships also provide a perfect opportunity to introduce top college students to your organization. Your company will benefit in many ways — not the least of which is a valuable intern who may return as a skilled employee.
How can you participate? You provide DMEF with a detailed description of your internship opportunity. Only internships that provide demonstrated learning components and involve working on direct/interactive marketing-related projects will be considered for inclusion in this program.
DMEF will leverage its relationships with professors at top colleges and universities to help participating companies source bright and highly motivated students. Only students recommended by a professor will be presented to employers for consideration.
Internships are expected to be 8-10 weeks in duration; the exact timing of each internship will be determined by mutual agreement between the student and the employer.
