Is This Program For You?

You should be enrolled in a college or university program. If you are enrolled in a technical college or school in broadcast engineering or electronics and data processing disciplines you may be considered for an internship. Additionally, you must be able to commit to a semester length or summer program. Limited opportunities may exist for internships for interested high school students. This program does not supercede existing arrangements between certain institutions and ETV regional stations for short-term (weekly) assignments.

How Do You Apply?

Applications are accepted prior to the Autumn, Spring and Summer academic periods. Print the application form. The periods of application and internships are as follows:

• Autumn Session - September through December (June 1-31)
• Spring Session - January through April (Sept. 1-31)
• Summer Session - May through August (February 1-28)

You should submit the ETV Public Broadcasting Unpaid Internship Application in the appropriate application period, identifying the time-period and kind of internship in which you are interested. Evaluate your work experience, college courses and aptitude, and apply for internships related to these factors. ETV encourages diversity in all of its student training programs.

Selection

If a supervisor reviews your application and is interested, he or she will call you. Not all applicants will receive an interview. Additionally, interns will only be selected for the number of available internships in the specific session. You must reapply for each internship session unless you are continuing to work at ETV across sessions. Acceptance must also be approved by the ETV Office of Human Resources.
