RTVB 2388: INTERNSHIP COURSE

Looking or thinking about an internship for fall semester? There are many opportunities out there right now!

How the Internship Course Works

• Student are required to reach out and secure internships on their own. RTF has a page for local resources students can use to find opportunities. A representative from the sponsoring company serves as the student’s immediate supervisor in the work setting.

• If this is a new internship or sponsoring company/studio, the opportunity must also be approved in advance by the RTVB 2388 internship instructor.

• Once an internship has been confirmed, students are approved to register for the RTVB 2388 Course.

• When the semester begins, students submit materials as described in the syllabus, to include a resume, journals, midterms and finals, and final printed out journal report.

• While this class does not meet weekly, all interns are required to set up a meeting with their instructor by the end of the first week of the semester. This could be individually or in a small group with other students.

• Students are expected to work 12-18 hours/week following the semester they intern.

Industry Resumes: After you've created the basic content of your resume if you haven't yet, find and use a resume template (such as through Adobe Express) to help develop a creative approach (keeping it to one page!), as is a regular practice for creative industries. Make sure your e-query is short, sweet, and proofed thoroughly.

Good luck!
