Our goal with these training opportunities is to put students ahead in the hiring pool. We’re training people to be exactly what we’d want to hire.

Our Multi-Media Internship

This summer long course will cover a broad spectrum of topics including web design, graphic design, photography, videography, and content writing. You’ll be working on real websites, for real clients, covering real events, designing real promotions, and it’ll all be real experience to put on your resume. By the end of your internship, you’ll be a published writer with real links for your portfolio. During your time with us you’ll also gain your SEMrush SEO Fundamentals Certification, another thing for your resume! Speaking of resumes, we’ll help you craft a new resume and give tips on how to write content to catch the attention of future employers. You might even end up with a job offer at mediaBrew if you’re a good fit for our team!

Web Design Training

mediaBrew Communications manages over 30 websites. We’ve got a website for every radio station we own and then we build and maintain websites for local clients including Marq-Tran and LaFayette Collision Center.

Everything you’ll learn from this internship can be taken to bigger markets or somewhere local, because you’ll learn the best practices for web design that everyone should follow!

When learning web design skills, you’ll learn basic html and css. You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of the world’s leading content management system, WordPress. You’ll also learn not only how to build websites according to best practices, but how to maintain them on the back end too. This means plugin updates, core WordPress updates, troubleshoot error messages and more. You’ll receive training on how to create different web elements including proper sizing and file naming. The internship covers design for both mobile and desktop view and teaches about one of the most important aspects of digital marketing, Search Engine Optimization (also heavily focused on under Content Writing). You’ll also learn about website hosting and how to create and edit databases, manage DNS, use FTP, and more for a well rounded background in website development.

Learning Graphic Design

Working with the top design software from Adobe, you’ll learn how to design promotional materials for clients and station needs. These can be anything from web advertising banners, to large posters for print, yard signs, banners, sales materials or website imagery. We’ll teach you about color theory and branding and how those things are used in digital marketing through graphic design. You’ll gain experience primarily with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Photography and Videography

As part of the mediaBrew team, you’ll get to attend many local events or complete on site work for clients to capture photo or video content. mediaBrew covers several big events each year including HarborFest, 4th of July Parades & Fireworks, the Boat, Sport & RV Show, and more. You’ll work with professional DSLR cameras to learn the basics of photography including settings, the exposure triangle, and how to capture successful event photography. We regularly do video work for clients as well, taking B-roll to use on their website or completing video interviews as a marketing promotion. You’ll get to use Adobe Premiere to learn how to capture, edit down and product video content.

Content Writing Skill Development

Despite everything above, when you leave us, your ability to write will be one of the most important and developed skills you’ll have. In Web Design, Graphic Design, and even video or photography work, you’re writing. You’re putting words on the new web pages you’re designing. You’re using call to action text in your graphics. You’re writing scripts for your videos and putting in captions. When you complete photography assignments, there is always a story to go with your gallery.

We’ll teach you how to write for your audience, whether you’re completing a press release, job posting, community event article, client services post, or writing content for your graphics!

Writing is important and you’ll be doing a lot of it. You should have a standard high school level knowledge of English before starting this internship. You’ll be expected to already understand basic punctuation and grammar. Not only will you do a lot of writing, you’ll also learn about how to improve that writing through training on popular SEO writing techniques like frame building and keyword research.

When you finish your internship, you’ll have article links to provide future employers so they can see real work you’ve done for clients. You’ll know how to document your work and communicate well with a team. We’ll also get you certified through SEMrush Academy in SEO Fundamentals.

Additional topics covered will include a chance to learn more about the radio side of our business, including script writing, voicing ads, and editing audio. If interested in account management, you’ll get to learn from our sales department and even go on some sales calls to learn about client management.
