Carolina Week Testimonial: Everyone preaches to college students that there’s nothing so important as real world experience when it comes to getting a good job after graduation. Whether it’s an internship, a paid gig after school or hours spent volunteering on the weekends, the theories and ideals you learn in class can take you only so far. If your passion lies within the news industry, there’s no better teacher than Carolina Week – it is unparalleled preparation for what you can expect when you land that coveted spot behind the camera or desk. It takes hard work and dedication, and it can be time-consuming and frantic. Yet, the reward of participating in a live newscast makes everything worth it. Your skills, talent and knowledge will grow so much during the semester, setting you up for success on whatever path you choose to take.
