What’s In It For You? 

• A foot in the door - Sometimes that’s half the battle. Once you’re in, you’re in. You’ve proven yourself. And you know people. 
• Real-world professional skills - You can read all about it on the Internet or in school but until you do it, it’s just fiction. We’ll empower you to roll up your sleeves and do the work.
• Networking opportunities - Meeting interesting and creative people, learning from their career paths, making career-long connections. It’s all part of the gig.
• A resume builder - That summer you worked at Jamba Juice is cool and all, but it won’t impress a hiring manager at a big NYC ad agency.
• Strong references - Assume you do great (you will!) and you’ll walk away with folks who will talk (nicely!) behind your back.
• Career clarity - Become a strategist? Hone your copywriting skills? Pursue social media? You’ll exit Door No. 3 with a solid understanding of your strengths, passions, likes and dislikes.
