An Education-First Approach
Every internship we offer is designed as an Experiential Learning Internship. The sole purpose is gaining experience and learning. The Education-First Method removes the expectations of high-performance skillsets, and allows our firm to develop the competency, capability and capacity of our Junior Associates for up to two years. Unlike most internships, Marq Neasman is not focused on what we get, instead we are focused on what we give. We believe in equipping you with valuable skillsets today, so you can help us add value to the marketplace tomorrow.
The Perks of a Marq Neasman Cohort
The Perks of a Marq Neasman Cohort
Aside from the benefit of being able to put a prestigous firm's name on your resume, you will benefit from real skills that 10x the opportunity you get from a standard internship that may provide a stipend. Review our Experiential Learning Model below:
This program is designed as an intensive educational practicum. The primary beneficiary of this relationship is the Junior Associate, who receives expert training, industry-standard certifications, and a portfolio of work that exceeds traditional classroom capabilities. The firm’s role is that of a mentor and educator, providing a platform for the Junior Associate to apply theoretical knowledge to high-stakes advisory environments.
Pros Get Paid
Pros Get Paid
Question...Would you pay an amateur to fix your taxes, teeth, or toilet? Certainly not!
The risk is too high, and it could cost thousands of dollars in money, days of time, not to mention risking livelihood. We believe the same goes for our industry where the stakes are high and the environment can be very unforgiving. This is also why we believe, "Pros Get Paid".
The slogan "Pros Get Paid" is a motto we live by that echoes the sentiment of the marketplace. It insinuates the marketplace does not compensate incompetence. For clarity, we consider a Pro one of two individuals:
Professional
Professional
A Professional is someone that supersedes 80% of the world in a given role. They have the skills, experience, clientele, and network to make a living in the industry.
Producer
Producer
A Producer is an Amateur, not a Professional. They have developed skills well enough to help them accomplish tasks and meet objectives, and get results.
We do not expect a Junior Associate (intern) to have the capability to deliver as a Professional, which is why we focus on education. In the event an intern is capable of meeting the demands of an Associate, we encourage them to apply for a career role. In addition, we have incorporated a performance-based compensation model into every internship cohort. So if an intern displays the capabilities to produce real-world results they will be paid accordingly.
Important Notice:
Please note that per the Federal Labor Standards Act, unpaid interns may work a maximum of 25 hours per week.
