PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
As integral members of the company, Executive Trainees gain exposure to every facet of the advertising, marketing and public relations business. TLF will educate Trainees on the fundamental skills of advertising, marketing and public relations, e.g. media planning and buying, creative development, writing, media monitoring, media relations, special event planning, new business development and more. Executive Trainees are typically assigned to a specific practice area of the agency. TLF will fill positions in the following practice areas: Hispanic, Entertainment & Sports, Media, Creative and Account Management. Not every area accepts a Trainee each session, but efforts are made to place Trainees in practice areas that are needed and are of interest to the Trainee.
Executive Trainees work full-time and are paid based on an annual salary of $23,750, which is pro-rated for the six months they are in the Program. Trainees will be paid on the 15th and last day of the month. Trainees do not receive benefits during their tenure in the program. TLF does not provide living quarters, but can suggest resources to help Trainees find housing and roommates. Trainees frequently rent apartments together; a list of all Trainees for the session will be sent to participants as early as possible.
