Nickelodeon

Love cartoons? So do we! An internship at Nickelodeon can launch you on an exciting, fun-filled career in children’s entertainment. When people think about an internship, they envision getting coffee, running errands, and slaving away behind a copy machine where everyone knows you as the “intern”. Fortunately, there is hope out there, and that is Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, CA! Here, we call our interns “Nickterns” and if you get coffee, it will be for yourself! Nickelodeon produces such hits as SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Penguins of Madagascar and Fanboy and Chum Chum..

In addition to superb internships, Nickelodeon Animation Studios offers fantastic perks! Interns are encouraged to participate in our business skills workshops and “Executive Lunches”.
