Internship Site Inquiries

If you are a business interested in becoming an internship site for our Radio-Television-Filmprogram, please contact Kim Clark (kim.clark@sjsu.edu), our internship coordinator. We look forward to exploring the opportunity for your company to provide a critical learning environment for our students. For additional information regarding our internship program, please refer to the Internships FAQs section of our RTVF Internships page.

The Career Center advertises internships and jobs, and they hold job/internship fairs on campus several times a year (sponsorships or representation at these fairs are available). To be added to a California-wide listing of jobs or internships, register your opportunities online at the Career Center.

Forms

Once a student is placed with your organization, the RTVF Internship Contract must be completed to establish the student assignment with the site. Students must not begin work before submitting a contract with required signatures from the internship site, SJSU faculty and the student.

After the site-university relationship is legally established (paperwork is completed), the site is responsible for three tasks:

    1. Provide relevant work experience for the student intern.

    2. Supervise student's work at the internship site.

    3. Evaluate the student upon completion of the internship.

A site supervisor may use a Site Evaluation form (provided by the student) to evaluate the intern, or may submit a personal letter of evaluation, if preferred. Please note that there is a deadline for submitting the site evaluation; the intern will not receive credit for the course without a Site Evaluation.

Important Notice

Interns must be registered for TA 198 (for Theatre Arts students) and RTVF 198 (Radio-Television-Film students) while they are doing the internship. Retroactive credit is not allowed, according to the department and university policy.
