Broadcast Journalism Intern
Broadcast Journalism Student
Are you sick of not hearing from “internships”, getting coffee, doing small tasks, and not getting hands-on experience? Join Dim University; a free portfolio school focused on getting you the hands-on experience YOU want! Our program is designed to meet you where you are at and give YOU a chance in the industry of your dreams. Whether you are virtual, in-person, or hybrid. By the end of the program, you will have connected with people in your industry, built relationships, and created a strong portfolio to secure THE JOB YOU WANT!
Common Questions:
- Even though this is a portfolio school; can I still get credit? Most likely yes, check with your supervisor at your institution
- Will I get hands-on experience? We are able to provide our students with hands-on experience because everything we create is to give back to future and current students in the community. Who better to create, inspire, and facilitate experiences than other students of life.
- How do I meet people in my dream career? By attending our career panels, workshops, and watching our content online.
- Is this a school or an internship? We technically do not consider our program an internship, but it provides similar and/or more experience than your average studentship.
Are you trying to gain experience in creating your own brand to host interviews with influencers, produce/direct content pieces, and assist with cohesive storytelling? We are looking for people who are great at taking feedback and applying it on the fly while trying to consistently improve. During this internship we put you with other interns in a mini agency of students from all across the world (This internship is hybrid where remote interns gain just as much experience as those interns in the Chicagoland area) and all different skills come together to strategize and work on projects, that build Dim and client brands.
If you are the type of person who is looking for real-life experiences that help you and others learn, connect with career professionals, and create paths to get to your dream careers, then this is the program for you.
