Training

When approved by our team for the internship, students will receive a digital handbook to give them a closer look inside the company and how it operates. The handbook will include a detailed outline of each task interns will work on throughout the semester with samples and more. A follow up call will be arranged with a brief walk-through for the student to ask the supervisor/mentor and any additional questions.

Once the student is familiarized with the tasks, he/she will go through a \\test run\\ for tasks a-g to see where the student performs the best. He/she will attend one event (red carpet, junket, shoot, and/or conference call interview) with an on-staff employee to shadow interviewing, social reporting, and/or other production needs, participate in test writing which will let the student write/edit up to three mock features (done remotely), and create a mock social media plan on how to distribute content on each platform.

Once test run is complete, the supervisor/mentor and on-staff team will work with the student throughout the internship on each task. Each week, the student will be required to participate in a conference call with the mentor/supervisor and other staff members to help coordinate their schedule/assignments for that week, as well as discuss the student's progress/growth and answer any additional questions the student may have.

By the end of the academic internship, the student will be able to:
1. professionally conduct interviews with not only celebrities, but any person they may come in contact with for a digital or editorial production.
