The LA County Arts Commission is helping you get an internship this summer. Even better, it’s an actual paying gig. 74 paid summer internships are up for grabs from now until May 16th, date when the recruitment period will end. The positions are for 10 weeks with a pay rate of $350 per week, and the LA County Arts Commission is urging students to “act fast” and visit their site for a listing of available positions.
As part of this project, interns will also take part in educational and networking activities, gain work experience, and develop business skills that can help get you off the couch and into the working world.
Who’s eligible?
• Graduating seniors who complete their undergraduate degrees by September 1, 2011, as well as undergraduates.
• Applicants must have completed at least one semester of college by June 2011 and be currently enrolled in a community college or a four-year university.
• Applicants must be a resident of and/or attending school in Los Angeles County.
Students apply directly to the organization offering the internship, not the Arts Commission. The organizations make final candidate selections quickly as internships begin on May 30.

Happy job and internship hunting!
