The Office of Career Strategy and the Yale in Hollywood program, an alumni group involved in the entertainment industry and part of the Yale Club of Southern California, have collaborated to offer internship opportunities and streamline the internship search process for students interested in an introduction to the various components of the entertainment industry. Students receive guidance from industry professionals as they develop their networking skills and develop a base of contacts that are integral to expanding their career opportunities.
Deadlines tend to be on a rolling basis in the Spring. Remember that rolling deadlines are being reviewed by employers on a first received basis. Consider applying for positions well before the stated deadline.
Required Documents
- Résumé
- Cover letter
- Employers may require script coverage, writing samples, or the completion of a second online application through their custom portal.
Some employers may inquire whether a student can receive academic credit for the internship. Yale College has a policy that allows students to apply summer experience toward credit for independent study at Yale, including a fieldwork practicum. This policy is not unique to Yale; it is shared by many other institutions. Students may request a letter stating Yale’s policies through the Office of Career Strategy, which is usually sufficient for the employer. For more information, visit the Academic Credit Section of the Office of Career Strategy Website.
