DWC is honored to announce its six 2018 summer intern consultants have successfully completed their summer program.
The program focuses on the basics of defined contribution, recordkeeping administration, compliance and investments. Junior Consultant Jeff Santelli said this of the program: “Interning for DWC has been a great experience. I am challenged with real work situations that provide me with valuable insight into the consulting and financial world. It serves as an opportunity to not only learn how the work world operates, but also to feel appreciated.” John Ferguson adds: “Interning for DWC has provided exposure to real work in a financial industry and has shown practical applications for skills that I’ve learned in school.”
Each year DWC selects three to five candidates from resumes submitted by college students across the country. Intern alumni alma maters include Harvard University, Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Minnesota, University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, Claremont McKenna, University of Notre Dame, Boston University, and Yale University. In fact, Ben Jones, a full-time consultant today with DWC, was in the first class of interns and worked with DWC every summer while completing his undergraduate degree at Brown University and graduate degree in Maritime Archaeology at University of Southampton.
“We want our junior consultants to learn that you must perform at an A+ level on every work task with no exception,” explained DWC Managing Partner Keith Clark. “An A- is unacceptable. Teaching consultants that first impressions are lasting is another key concept, which must be demonstrated by showing up on time for every meeting as well as meeting all promises. Most importantly, we want all of our consultants to learn to respond quickly to all communications. This has been another great class, and I am hoping that one or two stay in our industry.”
