Both students and non-students are eligible for Practical Training Internships with Public Radio. If you are interested in an internship with Public Radio, please click KQED Practical
Training Internships.
With the exception of Public Radio Practical Training
Internships, all interns must be enrolled in a college
class or program as a Sophomore, Junior, Senior
or Graduate student, should have an overall grade
point average of 2.5 (C+ or better), and must receive
academic credit for the internship. We will only
select students who can earn course credit at the
college level (no exceptions); BEFORE applying,
students are required to inquire if they can receive
course credit from their counselors, major department
heads, or professors in order to be considered!
Be specific in the internship(s) of interest, ability
to receive course credit as a college student (no
exceptions), and available term within the body
of the cover letter. Resumes and cover letters are
required from students to apply for KQED internships.
All internships are non-paid.
Once a college student has been accepted for the
internship, the individual may provide "Proof of
Credit" or a signed verification form from a counselor,
major department head, or professor before starting
the KQED internship program. A verification form
obtained from the Human Resources department is
also required upon acceptance into the KQED internship.
