Do you need to hire a student or offer an internship?
The Media Arts, Design, and Technology Department is frequently contacted by members of our community seeking to hire students as graphic designers, videographers, sound technicians, public relations specialists, etc. If you have an internship opportunity please refer to our Information for Internship Employers. Please consider posting your job or internship, paid or unpaid, with Handshake. Email your posting number and information to Professor Tom Welsh. Professor Welsh will help get the word out to students about your opportunity.
Do you have an opportunity for a student but it might not be appropriate for an internship or you don’t want to post on Handshake? Consider contacting a student organization that provides employment opportunities to students under the direction of qualified Chico State faculty or staff:
