The internship program at Cashman + Katz offers students an opportunity to immerse themselves in one of Connecticut's leading Integrated Communications agencies in one of four departments: Public Relations, Media, Market Research and Creative. Interns are overseen by C + K department heads but are treated as part of the team and, therefore, required to do a considerable amount of work. Participants will have an extensive portfolio at the end of their internship that can be used for job interviews or entrance into graduate programs. Interns will also have the opportunity to make connections with business and industry professionals.

Internships are offered during the Spring, Summer and Fall semesters. Candidates should be able to commit to at least 8-10 weeks of interning to be considered. Preference is given to students in their senior year, but juniors in their second semester will be considered. Cashman + Katz will work with universities to award course credit to interns; however, all positions are unpaid.

If you are interested in an internship with one of the leading integrated communications agencies in Connecticut, please send a resume and cover letter, with writing/design samples, to the appropriate contact below. We look forward to hearing from you.
