Internship Program

The WTVI internship is unpaid and offered year-round. The internship program is an opportunity for interested individuals to participate in a supervised on-the-job learning experience. The program provides the chance to learn the difference between what the participant thinks a job is and what it really is.

 

WTVIÕs internship opportunity is designed to combine academic studies with on-the job training and experience. Internships are available in all departments, and students work with trained professionals who will provide industry insight and professional coaching. Paulette Martin-Whitfield, Vice-President of Administration, coordinates the program.  During the reporting period 20 interns participated.

 

In addition, WTVI participated in the City of Charlotte MayorÕs Youth Employment Program, by hosting one high school students for 8 weeks. WTVI created a meaningful employment opportunity for the students, in which they gained an understanding of career demands, skill sets and qualifications required in the workforce.

 

Job Shadowing

WTVI hosted a Job Shadowing Day. 15 Charlotte-Mecklenburg High School/Communities in Schools students spent a day at the station. The WTVI Staff made presentations on their careers at WTVI.  The students also observed a studio production.
