Emma L. Bowen Foundation for Minority Interests in Media

The Emma L. Bowen Foundation was established by the media industry to increase access to permanent job opportunities for minority students. The Foundation's program is unlike other intern programs in that students work for a partner company during summers and school breaks from the end of their junior year in high school until they graduate from college. During that five-year period, students learn many aspects of corporate operations and develop company-specific skills. Corporations guide and develop minority students with the option of permanent placement upon completion of their college degrees. Students in the program receive an hourly wage, as well as matching compensation to help pay for college tuition and expenses. Mentoring from selected staff in the sponsoring company is also a key element of the program.

There currently are approximately 175 students actively participating in the program. Approximately 40-45 new students are added to the program each year. The Foundation also maintains a talent bank for use by media companies recruiting minority employees.
