This internship will be engaging, challenging and help provide you with a foundation for a successful career in entertainment, but only if you are fully committed to yourself and your own professional career goals.
We offer part-time internships year round to students of all majors and all class levels. Our internships are unique in that they are a combination of traditional staff support combined with a very proactive learning element. You will NOT get stuck in a copy room all day making copies.
