The Training Program:
General Responsibilities:
What You’ll Do:
- Own the role: Step into the shoes of a producer, MMJ, meteorologist, or media sales executive and handle real‑world assignments (yes, the kind that may go on air and online).
- Drive digital engagement: Create content that lives beyond the TV screen, think social media, streaming apps, and web stories—because we’re digital‑first, always.
- Collaborate with pros: Work side‑by‑side with seasoned veterans who are the best in the business, gaining insights you won’t find in any textbook.
- Commit to the craft: Dedicate 25 hours per week for 10 weeks to mastering your specialty and building a professional‑grade portfolio.
- Make an impact: Tell stories that matter to the community or help local businesses grow through innovative media strategies.
- Build your future: Position yourself at the front of the line for full‑time career opportunities within Gray Media’s network of 113 stations.
What You Bring:
- Current enrollment: You’re a college student (Junior or Senior status preferred) chasing a degree in Journalism, Communications, Sales, Marketing, or a related field.
- A “doer” mindset: You aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty and take initiative; you’re here to work, not just watch.
- Digital savvy: You understand that media happens everywhere, from the big screen to the palm of someone’s hand.
- Strong work ethic: You bring urgency, organization, and a “can‑do” attitude to every shift.
- Communication skills: You can tell a story, pitch an idea, or explain a forecast with clarity and confidence.
