Depending upon your sub-major area of focus, you will have to have taken certain classes, as well as be a JAMS declared major, and have a cumulative GPA 2.7 or above. See the main internship page for more details.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>What is the <em>reasons<\/em> essay I must submit, and how long should it be?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Make this about one page, double-spaced. Explain to us 1) Why you want an internship; 2) Why you would be a good representative of the JAMS Department in an internship; 3) Which area you are wishing to intern in, and whether you already have an internship lined up; 4) Any holistic details you want us to know about you and your background to help us understand your academic potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>When and how will I be notified if I have been accepted for the JAMS internship for credit?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>All applicants will be notified by email telling them if their application is approved or denied. If you haven\u2019t heard from the internship coordinator two weeks after the application deadline, then it\u2019s time to check in with us.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>When I apply to the JAMS internship program does this mean I\u2019m automatically an intern?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>No. After you\u2019ve applied and been accepted into the program, your next step is to apply for internships. *Please note the program application deadline is one week prior to the start of the next semester. Journalism interns are encouraged to apply two to three months prior to the start of the semester due to the nature of the industry hiring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong><strong>May I take more than one on- and off-campus internship for credit through JAMS?<\/strong><\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>You may take one on-campus internship and one off-campus internship for major credit through JAMS. That is a total of 6-internship credits for the major. You also may take two off-campus or two on-campus internships instead for a total of 6 credits of 399 or 600. Additional options are available to students who have completed JAMS 399\/600. These additional options do not count toward the major credit requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>If I am approved for the JAMS internship program, does JAMS find an internship position for me and place me with a company?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>No. Just as with any job experience, you will have to apply to companies and organizations for internship positions. The companies and organizations decide whom they wish to hire as interns. We will give you leads for companies and organizations that are in search of interns, or who have hired JAMS internship students in the past. Of course, you may also search for internship opportunities beyond our list of options. You are responsible for finding, applying, interviewing and landing the internship. We do not place students in jobs.&nbsp;Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UWMJAMSInternships\/\">JAMS Internships Facebook page<\/a> for ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>If I currently have an off-campus internship, can I apply for internship credit through the JAMS committee?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Sometimes, yes. It will depend somewhat on how long you have been at your current internship and what your job duties are at the internship. For instance, if this is a relatively new internship (six months or less), you will usually be approved to continue for credit. If you have been at this internship for six months or more, we may ask you to consider finding a new internship to broaden your experience, to earn credit.&nbsp;We do not grant retroactive credit for already completed internships, however.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Are all internships paid opportunities?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>No. Some are paid and some are not. It depends on the organization. However, some unpaid internships are wonderful opportunities, providing students with a lot of work to fill their portfolios or that eventually lead to a paid position. Others are paid, and we do encourage sites to pay our interns some type of compensation, even if it is an \u201cend-of internship\u201d stipend. But, not all sites offer or are able to provide paid compensation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>If I am accepted to the JAMS internship program, but cannot find an internship or decide to wait a semester, must I reapply for an internship?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Not always. You may simply be asked to submit a new transcript to verify your current GPA. Simply tell the internship coordinator of your decision to wait or of your inability to find an appropriate internship. As long as you find an internship opportunity within one year of being accepted for an internship, you need only to resubmit your transcript to ensure you still meet the general requirements. Basically, we approve you for credit, but you don\u2019t actually register for and pay for the credits until you get an internship.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Once I apply and have been accepted for an internship-for-credit, when should I start looking for an internship position?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Once you are notified (by email) that you are accepted, you should begin your search right away. You can even start looking before you are accepted. Some students approved for a fall internship may choose to wait until mid-summer to begin their search, and that\u2019s fine. But don\u2019t wait too long. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to find a great opportunity and the less choices you\u2019ll have to choose from. Journalism interns should have their internship in place two \u2013 three months prior to the next semester.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong><strong>How do I know for sure that the internship that I have will meet the JAMS internship requirements? (This question is especially relevant if you find a &#8220;new&#8221; site that JAMS has never worked with before.)<\/strong><\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>If there is any question as to whether a site meets JAMS internship experience requirements (enough hours, career related duties, reporting to a communications professional, etc.), your internship supervisor will need to provide the JAMS internship coordinator with a job description. This should be done as early as possible. If a site cannot meet our minimum requirements, then we can either work with the site to get the requirements up to standard, or, as is sometimes the case, the intern may need to look for a new site to fulfill his\/her internship. We want interns to get a great experience, learn a lot and get items for their portfolios.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>What types of letter and forms will I need to obtain once I am offered an internship?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Before the internship begins you will need to secure the following documentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proof you were offered the internship (email is fine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An internship (job) description, or detailed explanation of anticipated duties&nbsp;(unless already provided by the site; ask the internship coordinator)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This letter should also include the number of hours of expected service each week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proper title and contact information for your internship supervisor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>What type of information will I need from my supervisor once the internship begins?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Your supervisor will be required to complete a mid-term and end-of-semester evaluation form on your performance. It&#8217;s your responsibility to make sure they complete the forms and that the forms are received by the JAMS internship coordinator by the due date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Is there anything, in addition to the actual internship, that I will need to do to receive a grade?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Yes. In addition to completing your internship and submitting your supervisor evaluations, you will need to submit assignments, such as journals, to the course D2L site. You are also required to participate in discussions posted by you and your fellow classmates and to submit social media posts. Details on the assignments are explained when you are allowed access into the course.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Once I\u2019ve completed the requirements for the internship, must I stop working for the place at which I held my internship?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Not at all. Not if you and the site decide mutually that the position will remain yours. This could be an extended internship or, as has happened after good interns complete their internships, you could be offered a job. However, you may only receive up to 6 credits of any combination of JAMS 399 and JAMS 600.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5\">What do I do if I\u2019m experiencing complications at my place of internship employment?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>First, try to work it out with your supervisor. If you\u2019ve done that and you are still having problems, contact the JAMS internship coordinator or send an email to <a href=\"mailto:jams-internships@uwm.edu\">jams-internships@uwm.edu<\/a> for advice. If needed, we will act as a mediator, although that is rarely required.

You will rate the intern\u2019s skill level for things such as writing skills, motivation, ability to meet deadlines and other criteria. We additionally ask that you include a short narrative regarding the student\u2019s performance (i.e. what they are doing well and where they could improve). Your feedback will be used to calculate a portion of the student\u2019s grade, so it is important that you submit the evaluation to the internship coordinator.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Do we need to pay interns?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>This is something for your business\/organization to discuss, but we recommend that if it\u2019s not a paid position, you grant a stipend to interns who have done exemplary work throughout the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why you should. JAMS interns should be performing real work for your organization that you may otherwise have to pay a regular employee for doing. You will find students more interested in your internship opportunity if you offer them some monetary compensation. While we realize some nonprofits cannot afford to pay student interns, many find some way to offer interns minimum wage or a stipend when the internship has been completed. Even the smallest nonprofits often do this. We strongly encourage advertising agencies, news organizations and other for-profit businesses to compensate students for their work. We encourage nonprofits to pay interns if they are able.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>With the minimum 10 hours\/week requirements, does the intern need to work on location for the duration of the semester?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Not necessarily. Often there are projects students can perform without being at your physical location. We do recommend that if you allow students to work from home, that they report your physical location\/meet in person at least once\/week to gain workplace experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Are there certain tasks\/requirements that may disqualify our opportunity from being approved for a JAMS internship opportunity?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Yes. Interns should not replace a regular staff position. The tasks completed by students should be supervised and critiqued by a media professional. Students should be given the opportunity to create pieces for their resumes and portfolios. Students should not be doing more than 20% administrative tasks for their overall duties. All other questions and concerns can be sent to <a href=\"mailto:jams-internships@uwm.edu\">jams-internships@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Can JAMS interns work remotely? Or must they work from our offices?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>That is something the employer and intern can work out. Many of our interns can perform some duties and responsibilities away from the employer\u2019s physical location, such as social media content development. However, we&nbsp;highly recommend&nbsp;that you have an intern come into the office for a few hours weekly to offer them feedback, clarify assignment expectations, and to give them a sense of being a part of the team.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>What if an internship isn\u2019t working out or we\u2019re having problems?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>We hope that you will first approach the student and discuss the situation with them. That\u2019s usually all it takes to resolve any issues. However, if you have done that and there are still performance or other concerns, then contact the internship coordinator, Joette Rockow at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:jrockow@uwm.edu\">jrockow@uwm.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\"><strong>Can we keep really good interns for additional semesters?<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>If you and the student agree to this arrangement, absolutely. However, we may not be able to give the student additional credits for the internship if it lasts more than one semester.
