REQUEST FOR AN INTERN

Our goal is to encourage outstanding multicultural college students to enter the field of advertising by providing them with internships in agencies, print, and the broadcast media. With this goal, we hope to increase diversity in the advertising community by providing the industry with outstanding and promo-table interns.

How does M.A.T. select its interns?
Multicultural students (juniors, seniors, and recent graduates) from colleges and universities in the Southland apply for an internship to M.A.T. All intern candidates undergo a three-step screening process by a M.A.T. board member and/or industry leader before they are matched for an internship with a company.

Student Requirements:
All candidates must have a 2.7 or higher cumulative GPA from a 4 year University, they also submit two professional recommendation letters, their resumes and a completed MAT application.

 

Do I get to choose my intern?
You may choose your intern by sending a representative from your company to volunteer at the Interview Session of all the applicants. Otherwise, a M.A.T. committee will interview candidates.  The committee makes every effort to match both the candidate's and company's qualifications. A company is assigned up to two potential candidates to interview, for each internship position and the company makes the final decision to hire the candidates.

 

How much will it cost my company?
Participating companies pay the intern $9.00 per hour for 13 weeks (with a minimum of 20 hours and a maximum of 40 hours per week if the candidate is available). Interns are paid directly by the company hiring them for the internship. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL FEES to the company to participate in the MAT Program.

How do I get an intern?
Just complete an Internship Request Form, which will provide us with the information necessary to accurately place an intern with your company. Return it by the deadline indicated on the form. Internship periods run in the spring, summer, and fall of each year, for 13 consecutive weeks.
