GUIDELINES ON BROADCAST INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Course Number: Prac. 01a

Course Description: This course allows the students to learn actual
production from the broadcast stations
selected for the program.
Pre-requisite: Communication 7

____________________________________________________________________
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO TAKE BROADCAST INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS?

1. Students who have successfully finished Communication 7 (Radio &

TV Production and Scriptwriting).

2. Students must be of junior standing as of the time internship program

is to be enrolled.

3. The student should be of good moral character.

____________________________________________________________________
WHEN CAN THE STUDENTS TAKE BROADCAST INTERNSHIP?

➢ The best time to have internship is during summer when students have
no regular loads in school. This allows the students to concentrate on
the internship program.

➢ If the students cannot, for any reason, have internship during the
summer period, then they can take the course during the first semester
of their senior year. Doing so, however, can limit the students’ chance
to maximize internship opportunities (e.g. they won’t be able to
participate in out-of-town trips or late-night gigs necessary for
production, as required by some companies).

____________________________________________________________________
WHERE CAN THE STUDENTS TAKE BROADCAST INTERNSHIP?

➢ Students are allowed to have internship in Region 3 or in Metro Manila;

the choice of place shall depend on their choice of company.
** Students must consider several factors in choosing place for internship: (a)
the company where they want to have internship; (b) travel expense; (c) board
and lodging expenses; (d) their health; and (e) parents’ willingness to support
their choice of internship.

____________________________________________________________________
HOW CAN THE STUDENTS FIND COMPANIES FOR INTERNSHIP?

The Broadcast Internship Program allows the students to choose a broadcast

station which is willing to accommodate them as interns. Here are some
options that can help in finding companies:

1. Students are encouraged to consult the Internship Listings which

contain the list of the broadcast stations with the corresponding
addresses and contact persons. Students may get the details and go
to the specified address or contact the person to inquire about how
they can get accepted in the company. The Internship Listings shall
be available through the Internship adviser.

2. Students are advised to attend the scheduled Internship Forum

which is a venue for the senior students to share their internship
experiences. This forum allows the junior students to make
intelligent choices on internship matters.

3. Students who have access to broadcast stations (e.g. thru a friend or

relative) may do their own Internship Search to help them decide in
choosing a company to work for.
