Helping students set a course for a rewarding career.
The Greater Richmond Convention Center offers internship placements for students interested in careers related to advertising, public relations, sales, and facility marketing. An internship at the GRCC is intended to provide a true learning experience for students as they observe a variety of positions. The off-campus program enables students to develop marketable skills in a real life environment, again insight into their chosen career and get a head start on their career path.

The internship is a non-paid position and is typically limited to one semester per student, or a summer program. Scheduling is flexible in order to accommodate the student's school calendar, or summer vacation schedule. Students are required to receive credit hours for this opportunity and submit the appropriate paperwork to their supervisor, prior to their first day. The sheer size and central location of the Greater Richmond Convention Center make it one of the most desirable meeting destinations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Situated in the heart of Virginia's capital city, the enormous 700,000 square-foot facility sits on 5 and ½ city blocks. Interior accommodations include 178,159 square feet of exhibit space, 32 meeting rooms and the 30,550 square-foot Grand Ballroom.

The Greater Richmond Convention Center was built as a result of regional cooperation between the City of Richmond, and the surrounding counties of Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover. The Greater Richmond Convention Center is owned by the Greater Richmond Convention Center Authority, which is comprised of these governmental entities and the Retail Merchants Association of Greater Richmond.

The Greater Richmond Convention Center is managed by Global Spectrum, which is the fastest growing firm in the public assembly facility management field with more than 55 facilities in the United States, Canada, and Asia.

The student's ability, grasp of the scope of work, and accuracy on projects will determine the level of involvement in actual direct sales efforts and assignment to marketing
projects.

okay yellow™ is seeking a creative, talented human being to join our crew this summer. We are a relatively small advertising and branding agency that is doing relatively big things. The human that joins us in our summer adventure will get amazing experience performing a wide variety of design related tasks. We want this to be unlike any other internship out there. We want you to have a glorious amount of fun. We want you to help us develop multimedia ad campaigns and build brands. We want to give you the opportunity to manage your own projects. We want you to grow and learn. We want you to have the best summer internship ever!

We work on a variety of projects so the skill set needed for this position is flexible, but some of the important tools we use are: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, In Design, Dreamweaver, Flash and drawing. Some other assets that are extremely important are: a strong creative energy, a colorful aura, a winning personality, a desire to positively impact the world around you, an excitement for life, and a desire to be the best. Past experience with branding or advertising is a step in the right direction.

In return, okay yellow can offer you a fun, creative work environment and a place where you can learn about: advertising, branding, graphic design, video production, managing clients, growing a business, interacting with people, building relationships, eating pizza on Fridays, blasting music in the office, loving what you do, the power stance, the money dance and many more extremely important things!

We think this is a fun and unique opportunity to work WITH people, not for a company, that are doing what a lot of you out there want to be doing. If this sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to check out our website, www.okayyellow.com. You can find out more about our company and see the kind of work we produce there.

Once you see the light, send us an email to, internship@okayyellow.com with the subject “Summer Internship Bonanza.” We would love to see any past work you have done, read about your qualifications, find out how thrilled you are at the prospect of working in Charlottesville, and/or anything else you think we should know.
