THE PROGRAM
The Phoenix Convention Center Internship program provides interns with valuable "hands on" work experience and exposure to various elements of the tourism and hospitality industry. Interns will have an opportunity to contribute to the mission of the Phoenix Convention Center & Venues while learning from industry experts.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The Phoenix Convention Center & Venues offers internship opportunities in several divisions to assist with marketing/communications, events, guest experience, venue management, sustainability and special projects.
Enthusiastic college Juniors, Seniors or Grad students with creative ideas, previous internship experience and an interest in hospitality & tourism are encouraged to apply.
Duties may include writing/editing projects, creating collateral materials, customer service, crowd management, event support, media relations, research, report writing and so much more.
Interns should be available to work a minimum of 12 to a maximum of 20 hours a week. Schedule is flexible and can be coordinated around classes; however, interns need to be able to work at least two days a week.
This is an unpaid internship. The Phoenix Convention Center partners with several colleges and universities to offer students course credit. Upon successful completion of the internship, interns will receive a letter of recommendation and professional staff references.
Interested students should forward their resume and a writing sample to the Phoenix Convention Center Communications Director, Cynthia Weaver, at cynthia.weaver@phoenix.gov.
