The interns are hard at work
as a part of the University of Texas at Austin internship program, malice media provides multifaceted education in the entertainment space. One of those is leftovers from previous shoots. I have a lot of items from previous projects that are just sitting. I gave a task to the interns at whatever they sold over the terms of the internship they would get 2/3 of it. 1/3 would go directly to them to split, 1/3 into a slush fund to be utilized for them at the end of the internship and then 1/3 to pay Malice media.
this was their first real shot at digging through stuff and on the first day they found $10,000 worth of inventory to post. this was literally a small corner of the warehouse.
Internships can provide invaluable experiences for students, especially in competitive fields like entertainment. At Malice Media, interns are not just passive observers; they engage actively in real-world tasks. The recent initiative, where interns sifted through leftover items from previous projects, allowed them to monetize surplus inventory. This hands-on experience enhances their resumes while teaching important skills in sales, negotiation, and inventory management. Moreover, the program's commission structure—where interns earn 2/3 of the sales while contributing to a slush fund—fosters a sense of entrepreneurship and financial literacy. Such practical experiences are fundamental in today's job market, where employers seek candidates who can demonstrate applicable skills and real-world problem-solving abilities. The success of finding and posting $10,000 worth of inventory is a testament to their hard work and the program's effectiveness. As a blend of education and experience, internships like this at Malice Media prepare students for the fast-paced entertainment industry.
