Marq Neasman sits at the intersection of innovation and transformation. Serving in 8 sectors and 32 industries it is no wonder why we are a prime destination for many aspiring professionals seeking to enter the thriving field of professional services. As an Business and Financial Advisory firm we have found our distinction in our deep competency and capabilities in Personnel, Processes, Products, and Profitability. We have become champions through our research and development in High-Performance Leadership, Organizations, and Culture. It is for these reasons that our internships remain highly sought after. An internship with us can be the catalyst you need to go into any area business you desire.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
How many hours are expected during internships?
We will never require more than twenty-five (25) hours per week for any internship. On average our interns will spend ten (10) hours a week in total.
What qualities do you look for in an intern?
Every intern (Junior Associate) will receive a portfolio that guides them on the firm's metrics and objectives. They will be assessed on "The 5 C's of Connection, Competency, Capability, Capacity, and Creativity. The essential trait that serve as a catalyst for all growth is "The 1% Effect".
In this Experiential Learning Cohort, the work is the best feedback. Junior Associates are relieved of any performance or productivity expectations associated with roles and responsibilities.
What are the qualities you look for in an applicant?
The primary traits we look for in a applicant (Candidate) are a burning desire to master a skillset, and a definite plan to achieve that desire. A definite plan has three attributes: it is clear, concise, and compelling. In addition, the applicant must provide 5 professionals references that can speak to their character; and have a declared major.
Are experiential learning internships paid?
Yes, incorporate a performance-based compensation model into every internship cohort. So in the event an intern displays the capabilities to produce real-world results they will be paid accordingly. Our Experiential Learning Internships do not provide hourly pay for Junior Associates, because we do not subscribe to the notion of paying people to teach them. We pay for productivity.
