Marketing Internships Orange County

The qualifications for being accepted into the Young Company marketing Internship Program are purposely vague. Quite simply, we do not want to disqualify a candidate who may not conform to some specific criteria. We are looking for students with exceptional talent, compatible attitude and the right skills to succeed in a fiercely competitive field. And we fully believe that it is these students who will create the next generation of marketing communications.

Full time and part time marketing internships are available, but our preference will be given to those who can commit full time for two or three months. At Young Company, we receive hundreds of applicants for our marketing Internship Program because it provides real-world experience working on real assignments for real clients alongside other professionals as part of the team. We expect all interns to behave and perform as employees.

When the relationship is deemed to be a mutually good fit, and our business situation warrants it, we do hire interns for full time positions when they graduate.

As an Integrated Marketing Communications agency we are currently offering unpaid internship positions that major in the following communications fields:

• Marketing and Advertising
• Creative Design
• Website Programming
• Public Relations
• Social Media
• Video Production

This program can be used by students who are required to write a Masters’ thesis and prefer to explore and write about a real world issue in the field of marketing.

Where you are coming from is less important than where you are going.

In general, we prefer students who have expressed, through their selection of major and extracurricular activities, a sincere commitment to a career in some form of marketing communications. Because our program is unpaid and Laguna Beach is an upscale area, it is essential that students have living accommodations within 30 minutes of our office and tend to come from the following schools:

• Cal State Fullerton
• Chapman University
• Laguna College of Art and Design
• University of California, Irvine
• Laguna Beach High School

Interns are evaluated on three levels to be granted the Certificate of Completion. Those who perform exceptionally well are offered an opportunity to work part time or full-time upon graduation.

For a certificate of completion it is necessary that the student achieve:

• Punctual Attendance: Based on the mutually agreed upon attendance goals
• Active Participation: Emphasis on cooperation and group participation
• Accomplishment: The degree to which the intern solves the problems defined
