WCBI-TV is proud to partner with area schools to offer an internship program available to junior and senior communication students. We believe an internship program not only benefits students’ needs through experienced gain, but also benefits our station.
We provide a positive internship experience by allowing students to dive into their department of choice and take part in meaningful work. Also, interns can look forward to being mentored by “in-the-business” professionals.
Applications submitted after application windows close will not be considered or rolled over.
