Interns attended schools like Stanford, UC Berkeley and Hofstra.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>\u201cEvery year, we receive tremendous feedback on the program from summer interns as well as managers at participating companies,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, ASI\u2019s president and chief executive officer. \u201cThe best way to ensure our industry grows with the times is to interest more young people in pursuing an exciting, creative career in promotional products. While earning valuable work experience, interns help teach all of us what younger buyers want and the best way to reach them while showing us new ways of doing business. It\u2019s win-win all around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ASI provides each intern with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Free ESP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0access<\/strong>\u00a0for distributor interns and ESP Updates for supplier interns for the summer<\/li>\n<li><strong>ASI Welcome Kit<\/strong> of promotional items<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invitation<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0ASI Show Chicago\u00a0and\u00a0ASI Roadshows\u00a0(travel expenses not included)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Webinar education series<\/strong>\u00a0providing an industry overview<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital subscriptions<\/strong>\u00a0to ASI\u2019s magazines<\/li>\n<li><strong>Certificate<\/strong>\u00a0of internship completion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plus, three participating interns will also be awarded a $1,000 scholarship from ASI for writing a winning essay about their summer work experience.<\/p>\n<p>New this year, thanks to suggestions from interns, ASI is providing more educational webinars on improving communication and customer service skills and training in ESP. Interns unable to travel to ASI\u2019s annual Chicago trade show can experience a live event by visiting any ASI Roadshow located near their town.<\/p>\n<p>Below are testimonials from participating interns:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI\u2019ve learned invaluable life skills I could not learn anywhere else, and now I know what I want to do for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI feel satisfaction knowing that our team was able to help someone give back to their customers through amazing promotional items.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cInterning was a very rewarding experience that I will take with me into my future endeavors, hopefully coming back to the company as a full-time employee one day.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since ASI started its internship program in 2016 to attract more young professionals to the industry and to expose them to the power of promotional products, nearly 600 interns have participated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASI provides industry interns with free online training, access to ESP\u00ae and chance at scholarship TREVOSE, PA \u2013 April 24,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1482,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ASI Recruiting Member Companies For Industry\u2019s 2019 Summer Intern Program &#8226;
