\u201cASI\u2019s industry internship program consistently earns rave reviews from managers as well as the interns themselves, who gain real-life business experience along with an insider\u2019s view of an exciting, creative industry,\u201d said Timothy M.

In 2020, owing to the pandemic, most interns worked remotely. Companies can sign up interns whether they work at home, in the office or at factories. Member companies that have already hired an intern can visit ASI\u2019s internship website and take advantage of ASI\u2019s free program.<\/p>\n

Hiring an intern helps companies gain brand advocates, get fresh ideas, enjoy an extra set of hands and create a talent pipeline for future hiring. It also helps the industry teach a new generation about promotional products.<\/p>\n

Last summer, 174 interns worked at 13 supplier and 125 distributor companies. Of the total, 6% were Canadian promo companies. Participating companies included AlphaGraphics (asi\/373157), Axis Promotions (asi\/128263), Fully Promoted of Miami Lakes (asi\/384712), Lion Circle (asi\/67620), Liquid Screen Design (asi\/254663), Proforma (asi\/300094) and Raining Rose (asi\/80489). Interns attended schools like Duke, Ithaca College and Loyola University.<\/p>\n

Since ASI started its program in 2016 to attract more young professionals to the industry and get them excited about the power of promotional products, over 1,100 interns have participated at 650 member companies, with 93% of managers telling ASI they\u2019d recommend the program to others.<\/p>\n
