720.0. "Management Internship Program?" by ODIXIE::RIDGWAY (For one brief shining moment) Tue Feb 07 1989 12:03

    In note 719 there was a question concerning a marketing internship
    program.  I have heard that there is also a management internship 
    program, but it has been suspended for the next 2 quarters.
    
    Does anyone know of this program?  It's designed to take people
    from the field and train them to be managers (eventually.)  There
    are also supposed to be two tracks.  One for more experienced managers
    to hone their skills, the other is for people who have no "real
    life" management experience.

720.1I've got an extra copy of the assessment center workbook...YUPPIE::COLEThe TOUGH survive the bleeding edge!Tue Feb 07 1989 13:2114
	You are thinking of the "Management Development Program", Keith.  It 
is not an "internship", but a purely course/seminar/workshop curriculum.  It 
was developed by SWS to meet its needs, but has been adopted by most all field 
organizations now, I think.  It has three levels, according to your management 
experience.  The lowest level also has an "assessment center" where an attendee 
has a intense day of "role-playing" observed by a professional management 
trainer who then writes up an evaluation for them and their manager.  The 
further course work over and above the "core" courses are determined by the 
attendee and the manager based on the evaluation.

	Completion of MDP is NOT a prereq for management, yet, but as the pool 
of graduates increases, it may become so!  The curtailment of any more SWS 
"entrants" in MDP for this FY is financially driven.  FWIW, I've been 
cancelled out of MDP twice this year, now!

    I was part of a Management Intern program through Northeastern
    University, Boston, MA, USA (for our International noters) in
    1981.  As part of their MBA program, they have students get "real"
    jobs in business for 6 mos. of their 2 year full time program.
    
    I worked at the Mill, but that experience did not help me get into
    DEC upon graduation.
    
    I am not sure if DEC still accepts Management Interns from N U or
    any other college or university.
