November 25, 2008 - Holly Springs, N.C. – The firm is also accepting applications for its summer internship program, which runs from May to August 2009. Preference is given to students in their junior and senior years of college who can work at least 15 hours per week.
“919 has given me the opportunity to work with experienced professionals and truly see what the day to day is like in this industry,” said Sabrina Wood a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who recently interned with the agency. “Because of this internship I feel confident about what I am studying in school and that I will have an advantage when it comes to finding a job--because of the valuable experiences I’ve had at 919 and the items I now have for my portfolio.”
Interns learn first-hand the day-to-day workings of one of the Triangle area’s top ten public relations firms and learn directly from experts the ins and outs of the public relations and marketing industries.
919 provides opportunities for both undergraduates and recent graduates through its program. Requirements include current enrollment in or a B.A. from an accredited 4-year college or university, an overall GPA of at least 3.0 and strong written and verbal communication skills. Majors in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Business and Marketing are preferred, though not a requirement. 919 will work with universities to give interns academic credit for their work, if applicable. Intern positions are unpaid.
Because 919 works very closely with its interns to make sure they get the most out of their experience, many of our former interns are now employees at 919.
