Nickelodeon Internship Program

Love the world of storytelling? So do we! An internship at Nickelodeon can launch you on an exciting, fun-filled career in children’s entertainment. Nickelodeon produces hits like SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Casagrandes…just to name a few! Here at Nickelodeon, we don’t have interns. We have “NICKterns”! Rather than just getting coffee and slaving away behind a copy machine, our NICKternship is a true mentorship program where you (insert name here!) will get the chance to immerse yourself in meaningful projects and become a valuable part of the team. Perks to being a NICKtern? Networking with studio executives and artists, having lunch with renown show creators and producers, free movie screenings, nostalgia around every corner and in-depth conversations about your favorite Nick shows, cause, that’s part of your job.

In the famous words of SpongeBob SquarePants, “I’m Ready!” and we hope you are too!
