Returning to the paid labor market after leaving to raise children can be difficult, daunting and downright demoralizing. Aiming to support moms and bring their multitasking, problem-solving and crisis management skills back into the workforce, MullenLowe now offers Momternships.
The creative agency is seeking candidates for paid 10-week internships developed in partnership with HeyMama, an online community of working mothers. Acknowledging the obstacles to restarting a career or pivoting to a new one, MullenLowe's program includes mentorship, tech training, flexible hours and backup childcare.
Momterns can apply for a range of agency departments, from creative and strategy to HR and new business. Advertising experience isn't required and there's no need to explain resume gaps, either. MullenLowe will hire six interns across three US offices, and their program kicks off when kids return to school in September.
