All interns start as a team from their first day, and bond as a unified group. During the first week of the internship program, the intern class will go through a comprehensive training and professional education program. This program is designed to ensure that the intern has all the tools necessary to perform their day-to-day duties, as well as the ability to escalate quickly in their career. Everyone will receive a “buddy” whose main purpose is to answer any questions and guarantee the intern adapts to their new responsibilities and environment as quickly and seamlessly as possible. Interns will be scheduled on a variety of industries and clients while working in small groups with other Associates, Semi Seniors, Seniors, Supervisors and Managers. During this time, the intern will focus on developing skills, building their technical knowledge, understanding, and executing diligent client service, and getting oriented to the Firm's practices, policies, and culture.
