In this episode, Renee Moelders sits down with Amanda Figarola and Keri Giacomelli of WilkinGuttenplan, a New Jersey-based mid-sized firm, to discuss their award-winning internship program (#1 in accounting and #2 for ALL INTERNSHIPS OVERALL!), as recognized by Vault.com. Amanda and Keri openly share what makes their program special and unique, including a firmwide and top-down commitment to the program, a focus on providing interns meaningful client work, one-size-fits-one management of interns, and a carefully engineered schedule of personal touches (with even more happening during the pandemic). This firm really loves their interns! As a bonus, learn how Keri and Amanda shifted to remote internships in the summer of 2020 and are continuing that approach for the Winter 2021 program, too.
