> Now Accepting Applications for 2026: ERA’s White Pin Internship Program
The ERA Mark Motsinger White Pin Internship Program is now accepting applications for 2026!
This internship program offers a manufacturers’ rep (who is an ERA member) a chance to hire a college student as an intern, with ERA and the White Pin group subsidizing a substantial portion of the anticipated internship cost.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the intern to gain hands-on experience in the electronic component sales industry AND a great chance for rep companies to train and teach a potential hire, with ERA’s help and support.
ERA aims to award five internship awards in 2026. The winning firms and interns will be announced in mid-February!
The deadline to apply is January 31, 2026.
- REP FIRMS: ERA rep firms that want to commit to the internship program must already have a selected intern candidate in order to apply. Then, both the rep company AND intern need to apply. (Application links are below)
- POTENTIAL INTERNS: Interns may apply individually without yet being matched with a rep firm. Use intern application link below.
