Viacom Television Stations News
Apprenticeship Program
Applications are now being accepted for the Viacom Television
Stations News Apprenticeship Program for stations in Boston,
Minneapolis and San Francisco.
. This is a 6-month, paid apprenticeship in which those selected
will learn how a television station operates behind the camera.
You'll train on the assignment desk, in special projects, promo
tions, as a writer and a producer. The goal is to offer jobs at one of
the VTSG stations for those who successfully complete the pro
gram but there is no guarantee of employment. The goal is for
apprentices one day to become managers in VTSG newsrooms.
This is not a program for those who want to eventually work
on the air. . y
If interested, go to www.cbsdiversity.com and complete the
Viacom TV Stations News Apprenticeship Program application.
