VICE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW

VICE interns will get a firsthand look into how an international media company functions on a day-to-day basis. At VICE, interns have the opportunity to learn about journalism, editing, design, public relations, production, and more. 

VICE’s Human Resources Department oversees the training and learning experience of each intern by providing interns with seminars on career development, and helping them achieve goals throughout the session. VICE is dedicated to its internship program and often times the best and the brightest are selected to join the VICE family.
