The aim of KBAK/KBFX intership program is to expose students to the daily demands and challenges of a commercial broadcasting operation and to provide as much "hands on" opportunity as possible, appropriate to individual interests, training and talents.

The duration of the individual intership is synchronized with the academic term of the student's institution (typically 12-16 weeks). While the Human Resource Manager oversees the program, each intern is interviewed and accepted by a specific department or program unit. Departments accepting interns include:

News (General News, Sports, and Weather)

Promotions Department

Non-Paid

Preference Is Given To:

• Seniors/Juniors or second year students at Community College/Trade School
• Students enrolled in a WA, OR, CA, ID, or MT state school

Students majoring in Communications, Broadcasting or related field

Students should evaluate their qualifications in relation to their areas of interest. Students who wish to work in news, for example, should be able to demonstrate journalistic talents and experience. In almost all circumstances, basic knowledge of equipment and strong writing and computer skills are considered essential.
