WHY: |
The Intern Day of Service has become a staple in Protiviti's summer internship program because of the firm's dedication to and passion for volunteerism and community service.

As a firm acutely in tune with the millennial generation's desire to give back, Protiviti was recently named to the Fortune 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials list, which recognizes U.S. companies with exceptional workplace cultures, talent development and opportunities for millennials. In 2015, Protiviti's i on Hunger program was honored with Consulting magazine's Excellence in Social & Community Investment Award, which acknowledges the positive impact consulting firms make in social and community causes. |
