The Maschhoffs Welcomes Its 2019 Interns

Carlyle, IL (May 30, 2019) The Maschhoffs recently welcomed nine interns as part of its summer internship program.

Each student is paired with a mentor in a specific area of The Maschhoffs’ business. Throughout the summer, the group will work on specific projects and challenges to the business.  

“Our internship program gives students the opportunity to work on real-life situations that we encounter within our industry,” says Jessica Spurgin, Senior Recruiter. “At the conclusion of the program, The Maschhoffs gains tremendous insight on how to move forward in tackling some of these challenges. The students leave with a significant body of work they can add to their portfolio. But, most importantly, they gain the confidence that they’re ready to tackle whatever challenges they’ll face as young professionals.”

The Maschhoffs internship program dates back to 2005. Nearly 100 students have graduated from the program since it began.
