On June 26, 2018 the AGBU Western District officially launched its second summer of the Los Angeles Media Internship Program. Piloted in 2017, the program accepted six interns the first year and doubled the count for this summer. Interns were accepted from schools throughout the country including USC, UC Berkeley, De Paul University, UPenn among others.
The Western District matches the interns with opportunities in the media and entertainment industries with various host companies throughout Los Angeles county. The host companies are comprised of talent agencies, production studios, tech companies, public relations firms, and startups. The program includes weekly events for the interns including professional development workshops, cultural activities, and social outings. These events provide unique opportunities for the interns to develop a network within their cohort, as well as, with guest speakers, panelists, and workshop leaders who are invited to participate.
The program will run until August 10th and applications for the 2019 summer program will open this fall.
