Summer Paid Internships With ETV and ETV Radio

The highly competitive ETV Endowment Internship program for college students has been in existence since 1980. Five G. Richard Shafto internships, one John B. Bullington internship and one Your Day internship, all funded by the ETV Endowment of South Carolina, are available with ETV and ETV Radio each summer. Students will be required to work 10, 40-hour weeks in a professional department at ETV or at Clemson University. The weekly salary is $200.00. Beginning and ending dates are flexible. Assignments will be based on the needs of ETV and ETV Radio.

In 2012, there will be two additional interns funded by a grant from the Lipscomb Family Foundation.  These interns will be assigned to the ETV Shorts web-based video project.

ETV, ETV Radio and the Endowment work together to help public media meet educational challenges. ETV is South Carolina's statewide network with 11 television stations, eight radio stations and a closed-circuit educational telecommunications system in more than 2,000 schools, colleges, businesses and government agencies. ETV uses the power of TV, radio, satellite and the Internet to advance education, culture and citizenship. With our award-winning local productions, such as Making it Grow!, Walter Edgar's Journal, Carolina Stories, Southern Lens and the public affairs series, The Big Picture, ETV is committed to showcasing the people, places, history and beauty of South Carolina.

Seven paid internships were provided by the ETV Endowment for ETV and Your Day in 2011. Colleges and universities represented by the interns were:

• Joseph Schroer, Newberry College (ETV Radio)
• Lenza Jolley, University of South Carolina (ETV Upstate)
• Lauren Wright, University of Florida (Content)
• Leah Keith, Winthrop University  (ETV Carolinas)
• Courtney James, College of Charleston (ETV Sumter)
• Katie Geer, University of South Carolina  (Content)
• Chris Tollack, Clemson University  (Your Day)

Here are our ETV Endowment 2011 Summer Interns.

Here's what a few of our interns had to say about the program:

"I have to say this has been one of the most valuable life experiences I have had thus far. I learned about discipline, teamwork, and job skills..I hope to continue to contribute to SC ETV in any way possible in the coming years..."

"...this internship is far more than what I ever expected..past internships have not been as hands on as this internship. (They)immediately began teaching me and giving me assignments on day one!"

"I would recommend this experience to a friend and in fact already have!"
