Do you know someone who’d like experience working for an award-winning radio station?

91.5 WCIC has a fantastic internship program that allows college students to gain hands-on experience in a professional broadcast setting.

 

Qualifications/Requirements
Internship candidates must be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate courses in radio, communication, marketing or related program. Candidates must submit a cover letter and resume and interview for each internship position.

Fall and spring internships are 12-16 week programs and summer internships are 10-12 week programs. We have full-time and part-time availability.

Students must exhibit professionalism to serve as appropriate representatives of Family Friendly 91.5 WCIC.

Internships are unpaid, but offer valuable on-the-job training.

 

Production - Interns will learn the “ins” and “outs” of production, from scriptwriting to actually producing spots to air on 91.5 WCIC. Those that intern in the area of production will gain valuable experience that will aid them in their future professional career in broadcasting. Applicants should be comfortable on computers and bring strong listening and writing skills.

Promotions - Interns will gain real-world experience in planning and implementing promotions for a target radio audience. Interns will learn how to design, organize, and carry out contests, events, concerts and other promotions successfully. The intern will learn every aspect of promotions including brainstorming, coordinating volunteers, creating promotions materials (fliers/posters/letters), staffing events, and much more. Promotions interns will assist in station events. This is a great position for students interested in marketing and public relations.

Office Management - Interns in office management will get hands-on experience in every aspect of managing a busy office. Interns will assist with studio guests, answering phone calls, faxes, emails, data entry, mailings, special events and more. Word processing and internet skills are essential.

* Interns will be placed in the area that is mutually beneficial for 91.5 WCIC and the professional development of the intern. Generally an intern will be focused in one area. In some cases areas can be combined according to intern goals and objectives and company needs. One supervisor will oversee, supervise and evaluate the intern.
