Three graduates are gaining a competitive edge in their media careers thanks to internships with a Wolverhampton media production company.
Lauron Farr, Rupinder Kaur and Jas Sogi have joined Mediacove at City of Wolverhampton College for six months, during which they will be able to develop their video, design and marketing skills.
Lauron said: “The internship is a brilliant chance for me to put the things I learnt at university into action. It is really inspiring to work alongside professional editors and producers.”
The internships have been offered by Mediacove as part of the West Midlands Graduate Internships (WMGI) scheme.
Managing Producer Elke Theissl said: “It is harder than ever to get that first break into the media industry. By providing the internships we are helping the graduates boost their CVs and opportunities, whilst benefiting from their creativity, knowledge and fresh ideas.”
Since joining the company, the interns have been involved in all aspects of office life and taking on their own projects. They have also been tasked with writing weekly blogposts and twitter updates charting their experiences as interns.
Jas said: “I am doing a Post-graduate Degree in Marketing but this experience has opened my eyes to video production. I have learnt so much in such a short period of time.”
Photography graduate, Rupinder Kaur added: “My confidence is constantly growing – I hope that this internship will give me an advantage in today’s competitive job market.”
After the six month placement, all of the interns hope to go on to employment in the media and marketing industries.
