CTVA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Manzanita 190
(818) 677-7451


The CTVA internship program is designed for junior or seniors in the CTVA Dept. The purpose of the program is to give students practical experience in the entertainment industry and to make vital contacts that could help with employment opportunities in the future. Students have a wide range of production companies to choose from and many students find their own internships by picking places that will help to enhance their careers. Students are expected to work sixty hours for every unit of credit, meet with the internship coordinator three times during the semester and turn in a journal and final five page paper at the end of the semester along with a supervisor’s evaluation of their work.

Additional information is available in the internship office.
