Internship Program: Built to Offer More
Intern Mentorship Program
To help with professional development, our interns are enrolled in the LEAD Mentorship Program and are strategically matched with professional staff once desired mentorship styles, interests, and strengths are assessed.
Disc Personality Assessment
The DiSC assessment is a tool provided to DMA interns to learn more about their personalities, communication styles, drives, and relationships. Micro-learning sessions are scheduled throughout the semester to dive deeper into the DiSC styles and ways to build stronger relationships.
Intern Education Series
We created this series to provide our interns with connections, content, and learning opportunities to understand our practice areas, our people, and DMA as a company.
Networking Opportunities
As we immerse our students in our corporate culture, they have access to build relationships and network with our employee-owners, executive leadership team, and current and previous interns.
Summer Intern Summit
Interns are invited to our Indianapolis office for a multi-day intern summit during the summer semester. We provide the summit experience for networking, professional development, community service, professional dinners, and fun activities to build relationships between our intern cohort and employee-owners. DMA covers lodging, travel, and food while bringing together interns from across the world.
