ASI Summer Internship Program
New Concepts. Fresh Outlook. Future Employees.
Interns provide new ideas and a fresh perspective, helping your company grow and adapt. They often become candidates ready-made to fill future openings in your company, saving you the time and effort it would take to train someone new. By attracting a new generation to promotional products, you’re also helping the industry grow. Discover the top 5 reasons to hire an intern.
That’s why ASI® developed the Summer Internship Program 5 years ago. The process is simple: you hire a summer intern and ASI helps them get started with:
FREE ESP® access for the summer (expires 10/1/2021)

An ASI gift pack of promotional items
Invitation for your intern to attend ASI Show® Chicago
