    Intern Program Coordinator

    Maybe coordinating interns is your full-time job, maybe your boss thought this was a great professional development opportunity, or maybe this is your "other duties as assigned" task. No matter what your role is in coordinating your summer interns, we want to make this the most painless (and hopefully fun!) opportunity you've had!

    Intern Coordinator Benefits:

    • Intern Coordinator Roundtable -- meet on a biweekly basis with other coordinators to share best practices, challenges, and successes you've had with your program!
    • Your interns get three hours a week of professional development and networking … and you don't have to do anything extra!
    • Exit interviews – at the end of the summer, MRA will be the third-party to find out what your interns loved about their experience, what you can do to enhance it!
    • You have access to a full resource library of content, so you don’t have to start from scratch! Check out the list below.

Imagine the advantage your interns (and your company) will gain by networking with other interns. What about the opportunity for your intern coordinator to share best practices with other coordinators. How about the benefit to both interns and coordinators having the ability to access professional development topics that include:

  • Project Management
  • Presentation Skills
  • Diversity & Inclusion
  • Leading Teams
  • And intern-focused topics such as:
    • Finding the Corporate Culture Right for You
    • What I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Job
    • Questions to Ask at the Interview
    • How to Get Respect

This program will:

  • Assist with your talent supply chain
