Internships at Fort Knox, Ky

We have a number of openings for internships in our Leader’s Training Course Public Affairs
Office.
The internship is at Fort Knox, Ky., and is conducted from May 26 to Aug. 3. It is open only
to students who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors during the 2011-12 school year. We have
openings for writers, photographers, layout and design and videographers. Deadline for
applications is April 1.
The Public Affairs Office produces a weekly 12-page tabloid newspaper and daily website, a
multimedia show and news releases in support of the course that is focused on cadets seeking
enrollment in the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, more commonly known as ROTC.
Interns are paid approximately $270 a week (tax-free) and given free housing in a local hotel.
Of course, they’ll also receive a wealth of experience. Internships are for about 11 weeks. Further
details are available upon request. To learn more about our internships you can visit our Web
page at http://www.leaderstrainingcourse.com/internships and click on the internships link.
Journalists should have experience in news and feature writing, be able to write headlines and
photo captions and have a working knowledge of the Associated Press Stylebook and
copyediting. Photojournalists should be proficient in digital photography, know how to write
photo captions and be able to juggle multiple assignments. All applicants must have a driver’s
license.
To apply, students can send their packets to me at forrest.berkshire@usacc.army.mil, or to our
Public Affairs Officer at steve.arel@usacc.army.mil or mail them to our attention at the address in
the letterhead. Packets should include a cover letter, resume and examples of work (about six
stories for reporting candidates; roughly a dozen photos for photography candidates; four layouts
and two writing samples for copy editor candidates). Their cover letters or resumes should clearly
state the position for which they are applying.
If you wish to contact me, my number is (502) 624-8149.
