The Time Out Chicago internship program provides interns with real world experience and will prepare you for a career in several areas of the publishing industry. Our aim is to provide current students, college graduates and candidates looking to get into the publishing industry with an opportunity to apply coursework learned or taught in the classroom. As an intern, you will be involved in the daily process for each department, geared towards weekly publication. You are exposed to a variety of duties, hands-on experience and increased knowledge of the industry.
TOC fosters an environment conducive to growth and development and as such, some interns eventually assume full-time, part-time and freelance positions at the publication on account of stellar performance during their internship.
Our internships require a 2-3 day per week commitment, credit or non-credit. TOC looks for candidates with a strong commitment to a career in publishing through previous internship experiences, area of study, or extra-curricular involvements. TOC also thrives on intelligence, responsibility and maturity in all personnel and we expect the same of our interns.
Applications for Editorial and Editorial Art/Visual Art should also include three writing samples (preferably clips). Writing samples are not required for the Marketing internship application.
