You will get a chance to contribute your best ideas and work in an environment that inspires innovative results. Students in our internship program provide tremendous value to our organization through the introduction of innovative and fresh ideas and being part of a culture that dares to be great.
Interns will have hands on, value-add responsibilities in their specific department. In addition, each intern will have a department-specific project they will work on over the course of their internship. Projects selection will occur in the first weeks of the internship with input from the intern’s manager. At the culmination of the program, each intern will have the opportunity to present their project to the MBW Leadership team and their manager. The program will include exposure to the entire organization so that interns leave with an understanding of how the entire organization operates and how various departments interact with each other.
