Louis Carr Internship
Louis Carr Internship
Foundation (LCIF) provides 20 paid internships in communications
to undergraduate students of color during the summer immediately
following their freshman, sophomore or junior year of college.
A veteran
of over 20 years in communications, Louis Carr knew that segments
of the industry such as advertising, marketing, public relations
and media sales were slow to develop the multiethnic workforces
which reflected the changing racial composition of the USA and
the challenges of multicultural global markets.
To ensure more minority
representation Louis Carr, President of Media Sales, BET Holdings,
Inc., structured the LCIF intern program with a two-fold mission.
First, LCIF internships would give highly motivated minority students,
who could not afford to take non-paying summer internships, a
chance to get career-building experiences in top communications
companies while earning needed money for college. Second, LCIF
internship program would help companies to identify, recruit,
and maintain a more multicultural workforce.
