BAY CITY TELEVISION, INC.
Internship Program Information

The BCTV Internship Program is an unpaid, hands-on experience to familiarize students seeking a career in TV broadcasting. The duties and responsibilities of an intern vary depending upon the nature of his/her interests.

Students observe firsthand how skills learned in the classroom can be employed in day-to-day commercial broadcasting. Most Departments at BCTV participate in the program, and all provide supervision at each stage of the student’s activities.

Although interns are assigned by choice and by need to one area for the entire internship, they have ample opportunity to view all aspects of broadcasting. This allows them to be more selective in their career specialty.

Internships are available in various departments at BCTV.


Internship requirements:
Current enrollment in high school, college, university or technical school
Documentation stating that the internship will be given credit or recognized as a necessary part of your curriculum in writing by the institution, preferably before the internship begins
A demonstrated interest in communications or a related field
All interns must be recommended by a designated person at their institutions. This person will be the primary contact between BCTV and the institution and will determine how the student will be graded for the internship.
Interns must be available for 12-16 weeks (one quarter or semester) and a minimum of 15 hours per week.
Students will also receive a final written evaluation which will be forwarded to their sponsoring institution and will be retained in the BCTV personnel files.
In addition, students upon completion of their internship will be asked to submit a written evaluation of their internship.

At no time does BCTV promise or encourage student interns to expect employment with the station following completion of their internship. However, many interns have found positions as the result of their education and experience in our organization.

Restrictions upon intern application have been composed for the benefit of the student, the sponsoring institution and BCTV.

One of BCTV’s commitments to the community and to our industry is to provide excellence in broadcasting. We believe our internship program will help to achieve this goal. We hope you will, too.

Students wishing to apply for our BCTV Internship Program are asked to contact Human Resources for an application form.
