Hotel sales representatives contact government, business, and social groups to solicit convention and conference business. Sales representatives for temporary help firms locate and acquire clients who will hire the firm's employees. Many people who travel, therefore, turn to travel agents. The professional agent assesses clients' travel needs and makes the best possible travel arrangements for them. The Ball State University Department of Marketing is aggressively committed to practical education through internship experience.
Internships are available with firms involved in virtually any type of marketing activity.
Many of the internships are promoted by students themselves based on their interests and network contacts. Any place that provides an atmosphere for learning about marketing can provide an internship opportunity. The academic internship supervisor will brainstorm and facilitate internships with interested students.
