LINCOLNSHIRE, IL--(Marketwired - Nov 11, 2014) - Marcus Lemonis, entrepreneur and host of CNBC's reality series, The Profit, and Chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam, today announced the launch of the Lemonis Paid Internship Program. It is a country-wide internship program in which up to 30 qualified applicants will receive the opportunity to showcase their business strengths in one of Lemonis' various companies; ranging from retail to manufacturing, fashion to food, working on a project in a small town, running a website, property development or web development to name a few.
"I am personally and proudly invested in over 100 US businesses and our business mantra for success has always been People- Process- Product, but without a doubt PEOPLE are the most important part of a business' success which is why I am reaching out for the brightest, hardest working and entrepreneurial-minded interns," said Lemonis.
While working in the various business divisions, intern participants must show exceptional leadership skills, strategic and critical decision-making, organizational skills, and the ability to influence others while instilling methods to increase revenue.
"I am looking for people that are smarter and better than me. I know that they are out there and just need the opportunity to show their skills," said Lemonis.
All potential interns are invited to submit their resumes including full contact information and current work status as well as a summary consisting of no more than 300 words on why they should be chosen for the program. The internship is open to all regardless of education or employment history.
