Quad/Graphics Corporate Intern is a post from: Graphic Arts Association

Quad/Graphics acquired Worldcolor in July of this year. As some of you may know there is a former World, now Quad, plant in Midland, MI. In the past, World took interns and Quad is continuing that tradition. Just to be clear, Quad is also offering positions in Milwaukee, however they have not opened the application process. If you need an internship and would like to apply visit this link to apply online. If you have any questions about the Quad/Graphics internship or internships in general give me a call or email me.

University Internship Coordinators,

As we begin our fall recruiting season we’d like to take the opportunity to touch base with everyone. We are looking forward to another great round of qualified intern candidates to start streaming through the pipelines. Please keep in mind, the earlier we can start touching base with students for next summer’s internship the better for everyone! Typically all summer interns at Quad/Graphics have been hired by the end of November. So, we encourage you to speak with your students and have them apply early so they aren’t lost in the shuffle in November! We hope that the semester finds everyone doing well. Take care and enjoy the fall!

If anyone has any questions for us people feel free to call or email. Thank you.

Let the recruiting begin!
