Citrus Valley High School alumna Clare E. Groninger has been selected for the prestigious Television Academy Foundation Internship Program. She is one of just 38 students chosen by Television Academy members from across the country for the 2023 summer program. The Foundation’s annual Internship Program provides eight-week paid internships at top Hollywood studios and production companies to college students nationwide.
Groninger, a senior this fall at California State University, Northridge majoring in television production-narrative, will be a physical production/business management intern this summer at Xpedition Media, a production and consulting agency based in Los Angeles (Table Wars; Pasta Grannies).
“I am deeply honored to be selected for the 2023 Television Academy Foundation Summer Intern class,” said Groninger. “To have my potential recognized by the country’s most successful television professionals is not only reassuring but motivating to continue pursuing my television aspirations.”
The Internship Program also provides professional development sessions with leaders in the television industry and customized seminars covering personal brand-building and navigating the job market ahead for participating students. Interns also become lifelong members of the Foundation’s alumni family, giving them access to events and networking opportunities as they build their careers in the industry.
The Television Academy Foundation shapes the art of creating television by engaging and educating the next generation of television professionals, providing essential resources that help them discover their voices, refine their skills and forge rewarding careers in every sector of the television industry. The Internship Program annually provides 50 students from across the nation with hands-on work experience, mentorships, and opportunities for accelerated career development in more than 30 industry disciplines.
