Nickelodeon Internship Program 2017

Love Cartoons? So does Nickelodeon! An internship at Nickelodeon can launch you on an exciting, fun-filled career in children’s entertainment.

When people think about an internship, they envision getting coffee, running errands, and slaving away behind a copy machine where everyone knows you as “The Intern.”

Fortunately, there is still hope out there, and that is at the Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, CA! Here, the interns are called “NICKterns,” and if you get coffee it will be for yourself!

The Nickelodeon Animation Studio produces such hits as SpongeBob SquarePants, Sanjay and Craig, Wallykazam!, Breadwinners, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Some of the great perks of being an NICKtern are networking with studio artists and producers, having lunch with top executives, going to free movie screenings, taking practice art tests, attending intern classes and much, much more!
