As diverse as the Creative and Cultural Industries are, so to are the myriad of internships that our students can apply for. Though students are welcome participate in an internship at any point, we do recommend for CCI internships that our students at least complete CCI 100-01 “Introduction to Creative and Cultural Industries” before looking for an internship in the Creative and Cultural Industries, though it is not a requirement.
As a first step, we recommend you reach out to Erin Berthon, Wilkinson College’s Career Advisor. Erin will be able to help students to brainstorm internship ideas, or it the student already has an idea of the internships they would like to apply for, she can help with the process, including prepping for the application, and acting as a liaison between the student and the Career and Professional Development Center, so that the internship is properly registered. Note that University allows students to receive academic credit for both paid and unpaid internships. Internships are registered through Career and Professional Development, rather than my.chapman.edu. For further information on general internship guidelines check with the Career and Professional Development Center.
Going forward CCI students will want to also make sure that they are regularly check on the CCI blog, as job, internship, and other creative connections will be posted on there as the opportunities arise.
