Final Talent Pool Candidates
Final Talent Pool Re-Admit
Were you a member of the 2011 T. Howard Foundation Talent Pool (FTP)?
FTP candidates not placed in a summer 2011 internship will remain eligible for a fall 2011 placement provided they are enrolled as a full-time student for the fall of 2011. No further action is required from the candidate unless they are offered and accept a fall internship placement, at which time the candidate will be required to submit an Official University transcript verifying enrollment.
Summer 2012 Eligibility
FTP candidates who wish to be considered for a Spring 2012, Summer 2012 or Fall 2012 internship opportunity must complete the FTP Re-Admit Application for consideration by October 31st, 2011 at 11:59 PM.
What is the Final Talent Pool?
When students apply to the T. Howard Foundation there are two phases to the application process. Phase One consists of the online application and required additional documents. Applicants scoring high enough in Phase One will advance to Phase Two.
Phase Two of the application process is an interview. Applicants meeting the T. Howard Foundation standards for the interview will be accepted into the Final Talent Pool.
Only students accepted into the Final Talent Pool are ELIGIBLE for an internship opportunity with a host company partner. Acceptance as a Final Talent Pool candidate does not guarantee an internship.
From Final Talent Pool to T. Howard Intern
In the Spring our host company partners work with us to identify summer internship placement opportunities. For each open position, the Foundation review committee conducts a search of the Final Talent Pool candidates for the top candidates meeting the company's needs. The top candidates are reviewed and potentially interviewed by the Host Company. Each host company makes the final hiring decision.
ORIENTATION
Students selected as T. Howard Foundation Interns attend a mandatory Orientation June 3rd-6th in New York, NY. Orientation is a comprehensive pre-internship experience where our newest class of interns will be challenged, grow, learn and be equipped with the necessary skills to exceed expectations during their internship. The transportation and lodging for out of area attendees is covered by the Foundation.
MENTOR
Our mentorship program is an important component in the T. Howard internship experience that greatly benefits both our mentors and mentees. T. Howard mentors share their time, talents and experiences with mentees and serve as role models, advocates and valuable resources to these emerging leaders. Mentors are T. Howard alumni as well as other media career professionals who volunteer their time.
