Internships / Employment

 An internship represents an important opportunity for both the student and the employer. It’s a chance for the intern to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom, learn valuable on-the-job skills, make important contacts and develop business etiquette. For the employer, an internship represents an opportunity to showcase your firm and to build a relationship with a prospective employee.

In order for the internship experience to be successful for both parties, MCAWW recommends the following guidelines:
