Interning and Volunteering at RCAC TV

Here are some useful forms
in PDF format:

Volunteers
Volunteer opportunities at KECT include crewing on a staff production, helping with office work, and crewing for an access show. All Volunteer opportunities are negotiated on a case by case basis. You may qualify for credit to help offset your cost of producing or renting equipment.

 

How to Get Involved
Production volunteers on staff and access shows need to complete the studio production workshop. For volunteers with prior television production experience, we offer reorientations in which the Training Coordinator explains and demonstrates KECT's equipment and procedures. The cost of the re-orientation is $30 per hour, and it usually takes about 1-2 hours. At the discretion of the Training Coordinator, completion of the reorientation is equal to that of the 5-week studio production course.

 

What About Internships?
KECT  welcomes interns. Students have been pleased with the variety of experience and duties they get while interning at KECT . Since we are a small station with limited staff we rely on interns to help fill the production gaps. These include editing, on-camera reporting, news writing, web production, marketing, ENG (Remote Camcorder coverage), and computer graphics work. If you are a student, or if you just want to learn about television and have some previous experience, review the KECT Internships that are available to you.

 

Overview
KECT offers internship programs in television/video production, web development, sports production and marketing. Students have been pleased with the variety of experience and duties they get while interning at KECT. Since we are a small station with limited staff we rely on interns to help fill the production gaps. Opportunities include studio and field work, editing, developing news packages, creating promotional materials, web production, and/or working on local sporting and special events.

An internship at KECT is truly an excellent opportunity for the highly motivated and self-directed student to gain a breadth of experience in television production. The selected interns will find that the skill sets they develop while interning at KECT will truly help propel their career in television production, web production, marketing and/or journalism.

 

Internship Duration & Commitment
We offer internships three different times a year. Fall - September through December, Spring - February through April/May, and Summer - June through August. Dates are flexible and will be considered on a case by case basis. During the school-year, we ask for a minimum commitment of 120 hours, which breaks down to 10 hours/ week for 3 months. The summer internship is more in-depth and intense, and requires a greater commitment, determined on a case-by-case basis.
