The 4As Foundation celebrates interns with a full week of events

The 4As Face of Talent event includes a virtual conference, diversity career fair and portfolio review.

The 4As Foundation is honoring college students in its Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP) with a week-long calendar of virtual events to connect students with potential employers.

The event, which kicked off on Monday, celebrates more than 400 students that participated in this year’s program across the advertising and media industries. Students that are selected to participate undergo Spring training, a-12 week virtual series with a mentor and collaborate with cross-national teams on a project.

Over the course of the week, the 4As Foundation will host a diversity career fair and MAIP Con, a virtual conference where diverse talent can tune into panels and breakout sessions led by companies including Dentsu, Omnicom Health Group, GCI, Facebook and Google. Panels cover topics including creativity and COVID, how to interview, how to apply your emotions professionally and networking with other people of color.

MAIP Interns can also participate in MAIP Greenhouse, a series of 15-minute sessions where 82 partners of the foundation from agency and client organizations review their creative portfolios.
