Phillips Internship Program

Phillips Internship Program

Our Internship Program

Our 12-week Internship Program focuses on two areas: business development and print production. Interns will generally spend 50% of their time in our business development center making calls to prospective clients, sending out sales packages, setting up sales meetings, and entering/editing data in our CRM database. The rest of the time interns will get to experience a wide array of production processes including prepress, mailing operations, digital printing, offset printing, and bindery operations. Qualified candidates should feel comfortable talking on the phone and have a good phone presence; candidates should also feel comfortable around large equipment and working in a detail-oriented manufacturing environment. Interns will ultimately have the opportunity to spend more time and gain in-depth experience in areas where they have the most interest.
