Position overview

What this role is about

Are you someone who enjoys creating videos, telling stories, writing, designing content, or finding interesting ways to explain things? Upptik Gives is looking for creative college students to help us turn career information into content that actually speaks to high school students.

As a Career Video & Media Intern, you’ll take ownership of one Career Cluster and bring it to life through short-form videos, voiceovers, visuals, written content, and student-friendly storytelling.

You do not need to be an expert in the career field you’re assigned. You’ll research the information you need, then use your creativity to turn it into content a teenager can understand and connect with.

This is not a traditional research internship. Research is the starting point — your main job is figuring out how to turn what you learn into engaging career content.

Key responsibilities

What you’ll do

Team participation

Attend the biweekly 1-hour team meeting and stay active in the team GroupMe chat.

Introductory video

Create a creative introductory video that helps students understand the field.

Career Spotlight videos

Produce short Career Spotlight videos featuring different career paths.

Scripts & concepts

Write voiceover scripts, hooks, and visual concepts for your videos.

Captions & written content

Create student-friendly captions and written content.

Student FAQs

Develop FAQs that answer the questions teens may actually have.

Visual storytelling

Combine video clips, photos, text, graphics, and other creative elements.

Pathway clarity

Document clear entry pathways — 2-year, 4-year, certification, trade, and alternative — so students see how to realistically enter and advance.

What you’ll gain

  • Short-form educational video creation
  • Scriptwriting and voiceover development
  • Visual storytelling
  • Content planning and creative direction
  • Translating research into engaging digital content
  • Creating content for a real teen audience
  • Building a portfolio of published career resources
  • A professional reference upon successful completion

Qualifications

  • Enrolled in a Connecticut college or university, or residing in CT
  • Studying Communications, Digital Media, Film/Video, Journalism, Marketing, Advertising, Graphic Design, PR, English/Writing, Education, Media Studies, or another creative field — your major doesn’t have to be on this list
  • Enjoy creating short-form video or digital content
  • Like storytelling, writing, editing, design, or visual communication
  • Can explain information in a way that feels natural and relatable
  • Comfortable on camera, recording voiceovers, or producing videos behind the scenes
  • Detail-oriented and able to research information accurately
  • Dependable and able to manage a creative project from idea to finished product
  • Care about helping young people explore their futures
