What are typical assignments for students?
CPB and the Foundation will work with each participant to determine needs and opportunities for student roles. To date, assignments have ranged from working with the public relations staff to plan and implement outreach activities, working in newsrooms, operating cameras and editing equipment, assisting in sales and marketing with research and presentation materials, working in finance, administration and human resource departments, working on graphic design and promotion projects, attending meetings, answering phones, filing, and drafting correspondence. The focus in this program is to plan assignments that help build skills, develop confidence and professional competence.
