CLE Solutions Develops Internship Program to Foster Leaders

The managers of CLE Solutions, a Cleveland-area interactive marketing firm, recently announced that the company is developing a top-notch internship program. They described the selection process and the premium experience planned.

“It is our pleasure to announce this program,” said CLE Solutions’ director of operations. “This is one of the many ways in which we help the next generation of industry leaders gain solid experience in sales and marketing.”

The director of operations cited that the intern selection process is rigorous. “Our plan is to allow interns to work alongside our seasoned team members and undergo training similar to what we’ve designed for our newly hired associates,” he said. “Therefore, it’s important that we select interns who are serious about hard work and have growth-oriented mindsets. They have to be ready to learn.”

"Our plan is to allow interns to work alongside our seasoned team members and undergo training similar to what we've designed for our newly hired associates,"

“Our internship program is geared toward offering hands-on experience in the interactive marketing field,” the director of operations stated. “This includes working directly with customers to develop campaigns that grow brand awareness. Our interns will be learning the entire process. They’ll participate in demographic analysis and promotion implementations. They’ll craft messages and be heavily involved in innovation.”

The director of operations noted that the CLE Solutions internship program is far different from typical programs for college students. “These interns are learning the nuts and bolts of this industry,” he said. “It’s more than just observing others in action. We involve our interns as parts of our team. They’re expected to contribute, share their perspectives, and possibly take the lead on occasion. This is why we’re so excited about our program. We’re helping to foster future leaders in the fastest-growing marketing field.”

CLE Solutions’ Managers Provide Tips for a Successful Internship

The director of operations observed that there is not a lot of guidance provided to new interns to help them maximize their experiences. “Too often, internships are just about getting college credit, maybe something to put on the resume,” he said. “There are far more benefits to being an intern than that.”

“One of the first things I advise interns to do is create a list of goals,” he said. “They need to know what experience and knowledge they want to have when the program is over. This way, we can help point them in the right direction. Before your internship begins, note what you want to accomplish and discuss it with your supervisor.”

Networking is another plus for interns. “You’re exposed to so many different people. Focus on building some key connections with those you can contact after you’ve graduated,” the director of operations stated. “You might use some for references, and others might have contacts in businesses at which you want to apply. Be methodical.”

“Most importantly, treat the opportunity like a real job,” the director of operations concluded. “You never know if it may lead to the career of a lifetime.”
