Testimonials and Statistics from MAIP 2024

"​These MAIP interns walk into a pitch and win it. They’re ready to work and they understand what it takes. It’s impressive. The leaders recognize that.

"We've been very happy with MAIP and always try to bring them on.

"We always have a great experience with our MAIP fellows and the entire process.

"We have loved the MAIP program and have prioritized hiring MAIP Alumni.

"We do not have our leaders interview our MAIP interns. We rely on the fact that they  are rigorously assessed, they are screened, they are vetted. That is not something we want them to go through again. We’re confident, and this summer shows that they are ready to do this work.
