ERA recently launched its newest initiative, the Mark Motsinger White Pin Internship Program, as a way to help the rep community attract, hire and retain college graduates into the rep model to bring new talent into the industry. This is an opportunity for college juniors or seniors to  work for a manufacturers’ representative firm over the summer months to gain a better understanding and hands-on experience of the electronic components industry.

In this episode, ERA's SVP of Education, Ellen Coan, CPMR of CC Electro Sales, talks with Cameron English, CPMR, of English Technical Sales, and Aparna Sproelich, CPMR, of Aurora Technical Group, whose companies were recipients of the two inaugural internships awarded in 2022. Cameron and Aparna share their insights regarding how they found their interns, along with how they are training their interns, and how their interns have already helped to benefit and contribute to their businesses.  Listen in to learn more!
