THF Internship Orientation

FOX hosted a virtual networking session to officially close out the 2 ½-day THF Internship Orientation, Now Streaming. The FOX team provided the incoming internship class with constructive coaching and techniques to assist them with networking virtually and in-person.

Attendees received FOX’s invaluable list of tips on how to prepare and present oneself while networking.

45 interns received 20-minute one-on-one information interviews by representatives from seven FOX business units (Campus, Entertainment, News, Sales, Sports, Tech and Television Stations).

“The T. Howard does a great job of preparing us by supplying resources and knowledge that we otherwise wouldn’t have access.”
