Post date: Feb 24, 2016 2:45:43 PM
Young women ages 18-26 will gain leadership skills and engage in professional development to help them land an internship at a media arts or tech company in the Bay Area. Participants polish their resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and engage with professionals in the industry while gaining public speaking skills, in-depth training on interviewing techniques, and tips on communication strategies that will help them get their feet in the door.
The Fellowship consists of an intensive week-long series of workshops and trainings at BAVC's Mission District headquarters in San Francisco. Fellows receive training and support from a team of professionals in the video, audio, gaming-production, design and coding industries to develop their entrepreneurial and leadership skills and internship potential as candidates.
