Cultivating talented individuals is one of the most important, and challenging, aspects of the business. Whether it’s where to find good people to how to grow them from wide-eyed interns to savvy professionals, we’ve got the goods.
Our MAIP and High School initiatives offer practical experience to young people looking to get their start. The Institute for Advanced Advertising Studies and IPA Foundation Certificate programs give those with a bit more experience the push they need to get into the big leagues. And when they’re ready to take an even bigger jump, our ELP Program can show you how to lead.
So pick your troops and train them well.
