WAVY-TV/WVBT-TV internship program

Purpose:

Internships provide individuals with practical experiences in a career setting. These experiences often allow them to apply their formal course work to day-to-day operations of communication-related jobs. All internships must be used in conjunction with college credit and are unpaid.

Individuals applying for an internship must be an upcoming college Junior or Senior to be eligible.

Individuals planning for an internship must remember that WAVY/WVBT invests time and effort guiding and training interns. Services of value are expected in return. The internship is a reciprocal arrangement. Individuals exchange their efforts in return for on-the-job-type training and work-type experience.

There are a limited amount of summer internships available that are paid by the Virginia Association of Broadcasters . Applications are available October through January and can be obtained from the VAB at www.vabonline.com or by calling 434-977-3716.
