The Around Campus Group is back to advertise their summer internship to Elizabethtown College students, aiming to get students more experience in marketing and public speaking.

Erik Rhoten, an associate regional manager for the Around Campus Group, was in the Baugher Student Center on Monday, Feb. 2, to advertise an internship that could land students job offers from big name companies like Verizon, AT&T, Enterprise and more.

The internship sends students down to University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in an all-expense paid trip where “you learn everything about the products,” according to Rhoten.

“You learn about the sales process for introducing yourself to the business owner, sharing solutions, closing that account and managing that account throughout the summer,” Rhoten said.

Two students selected from Etown will spend a week at UNC Chapel Hill. When they come back, they will work to start selling a product, going from business to business for eight more weeks. The goal of the internship is to hit a team-set sales goal, determined before the internship is started. “Of course there is a lot of support within that; you have support from your teammates, regional manager and assistant manager,” Rhoten said.

The regional manager for Etown is Gabriel Revnew. Revnew was Rhoten’s manager last year and helped Rhoten when he participated in the internship last summer. “Gabe is always there to answer any questions you may have,” said Rhoten. The regional manager helped his team when they struggled and reviewed approaches to product sales.

Around Campus Group has 19 career partners from major businesses such as Verizon, ADP, Bloomberg BNA and paycom. All 19 partners will be represented in UNC Chapel Hill for a job fair while the students are there.
