The Evergreen Multimedia Arts Internship Program is often simply called the "Media Internship." This internal, in-program internship is a full-time work opportunity housed within Evergeen's Media Services. For academic year 2024-25, there will be openings in audio, video, and photo. All the internship positions are advanced media programs that encourage self-starting and inspired students to pursue their goals and passions through hands-on work in a highly collaborative and professional multimedia environment. Under the guidance of staff supervisors and the faculty sponsor, interns develop the necessary skills to thrive in a post-college environment, including creative collaboration, effective communication, emotionally intelligent leadership, and an interdisciplinary approach to multimedia.
Students selected for this internship will receive a scholarship covering the total cost of their annual tuition (and lab fees) which will be allocated quarterly along with loaned gear packages that include industry standard equipment for use over the duration of the internship.
This program requires a year-long commitment from Fall through Spring quarters. Students can expect learning and work to be primarily on-premises in their assigned work areas. Remote activities are also possible as necessary.
Audio and Video Interns
The Audio and Video Interns are an essential part of Electronic Media within Media Services. In addition to their personal and team-based work and under supervision, the interns provide instructional media support to Evergreen's curriculum, perform maintenance of media labs and equipment, and oversee facilities pertaining to their area of focus. Supported by their field supervisors, interns work full-time in a fast-paced environment as crew members for various campus productions and post-production projects. Additionally, interns lead and attend media workshops and training sessions, and actively seek to utilize the areas’ resources to reach their goals.
Graduates from the Media Internship Program have successfully furthered their education and launched rewarding careers at leading companies such as Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft.
