March 1 info meeting -- Dotdash Meredith Apprentice Program |
The 2022-23 Dotdash Meredith Apprentice Program is a partnership between Iowa State University and Dotdash Meredith — America’s largest digital and print publisher — that places 10 Iowa State students in editorial and graphic design apprenticeships with national consumer media brands for an entire academic year. These paid positions offer students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience, build their professional portfolios, and make invaluable industry connections. Apprenticeships may also be used to fulfill academic internship requirements.
These apprenticeships are focused on content creation — editorial apprentices work alongside experienced editors, while graphic design apprentices work alongside art directors.
The meeting will also be recorded the meeting. Please reach out if you are unable to attend but would like more information. The application will be posted on the Greenlee School website on March 2. Applications are due Friday, March 25, by noon.
A few more details:
- Apprentices must be junior or senior status by fall 2022 and commit to working both the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters.
- Apprentices work 15 to 20 hours a week during the academic year.
- Next year’s apprenticeships include in-person editorial and graphic design positions with Des Moines-based media brands. Some opportunities may also be available for remote assignments with teams based in New York and other offices. We hope to be able to share more information about next year’s assignments at the meeting. Assignments vary each year, but previous placements have included Better Homes and Gardens, Allrecipes, Midwest Living/Meredith Travel Media, Successful Farming, Meredith Premium Publishing, Meredith E-Commerce, InStyle, Parents, Eating Well and more.

Hiring: College of Engineering |
The Iowa State College of Engineering is looking for a communication intern.
It is a paid internship and counts toward a 499 internship.
They have multiple internship opportunities available, some for the College of Engineering as a whole and one where Sarah Hays is the direct supervisor – the one with Sarah is for the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. Super cool for students that are passionate about the environment and promoting diversity within STEM fields.
This internship also has the potential to last all the way until graduation – so it is a nice opportunity for someone that wants a part-time position that they can still get paid for and to help accelerate their career.
Both job opportunities are available on CyHire as a Communications Intern for the Iowa State University College of Engineering.
Search CyHire with position ID: 161641.
