Impact Marketing Intern Rotation Program at Qrew in San Francisco, CA
Impact Marketing Intern Rotation Program
Program Description
A consortium of six social enterprise companies have come together to collaborate on a new intern rotation program specifically designed to provide fairly recent graduates with an opportunity to get exposure to the social enterprise community. Over three months, each intern will rotate once a month to work on a marketing or business development focused project with one of the six companies. In addition to the experiential learning that comes from direct project work, interns will meet regularly to share best practices and discuss industry dynamics. As part of their professional development, interns will be given direct feedback after each rotation. At the end of the program we anticipate that there will be an opportunity for successful interns to place into either part-time or full-time work with one of the participating organizations or with a referral partner.
Each intern will be asked to commit to all three rotations and the full duration of the program (October 1 – Dec. 31). At a minimum, Interns will be expected to be actively engaged at a minimum of 20 hours per week. Most of the activities will be held at the HUB in the SOMA area of San Francisco.
