Firms Are Scaling Back and Re-Thinking Programming for Summer Associates

Part extended job interview, part fraternity rush, summer associate programs are legendary for the lengths they go to to show their bright young things a good time. Dinners and happy hours are de rigueur, along with more elaborate entertainment such as evening casino cruises, weekend retreats, and sushi-making classes. But this year, managers and planners in corporate recruitment offices across North America say many of the excessive flourishes have been grounded.

While the vast majority of companies are carrying on with their summer programs, most acknowledge making economy-related alterations. Some have slashed their head count, some predict holding fewer events, and others say entertaining will be less lavish than in years past. “All of us are aware the economy just isn’t as good, so as I’m planning these events, that will absolutely be in the back of my head,” says Amy Simmons, manager of legal recruitment and professional development at Epstein Becker & Green in Washington. She traditionally coordinates theater trips, bowling outings, and an annual fete at the home of the firm’s chairman, along with more low-key gatherings such as an in-office happy hour on Fridays.

Conversations and Cocktails
Instead of the predictable bar around the corner, head to Blue on Blue at the Avalon Hotel for an after-work poolside gathering. Its new happy-hour menu includes tapas-style selections like mushroom risotto and paella, as well as a specialty wine of the month. Five private cabanas can accommodate parties of 12, or the entire outdoor space can hold 150.

Photo Finish
A city-centric gift for newcomers or natives is photographer Tim Street-Porter’s Los Angeles mini book, a compact version of the hefty original edition. Street-Porter documents the L.A. landscape, from landmarks like Disney Concert Hall to sweeping shots of palm-tree-lined streets, in the 264-page volume, which includes gatefolds that span five feet. The book retails for $17.95. MORE >>
