KFVS12 is working with SEMO to strengthen the Hispanic Educational Technology Services (HETS). They select three seniors each semester for paid internships at KFVS-TV while you continue your journalism studies. This partnership also opens doors to future jobs at other stations owned by Gray Television, KFVS's parent company.

KRCU Public Radio is right on SEMO's campus, broadcasting NPR News and Classical Music across three channels. KRCU gives mass media students hands-on experience and shadowing opportunities in radio broadcasting to build your skills in a real-world setting.

Through our KFVS12 education partnership, SEMO has connected with universities in Puerto Rico, including Inter-American University, Sacred Heart University, and Ana G. Mendez University. This exchange program allows one SEMO student to study in Puerto Rico for every two Puerto Rican students who come here, helping grow the Hispanic Educational Technology Services (HETS).

Red Letter Communications offers you media jobs with course credit and valuable work experience. Their founder and CEO, Jim Riley, works with SEMO's Promotional Campaign class and provides shadow interviews so you can see what working in the industry is really like.

Rust Communications, the flagship company for the local newspaper, has partnered with SEMO for years to publish Arrow, our student news organization. They also own the Rust Center for Media, the downtown building where students participating in the Arrow, SETV, and SE Creative all work in dedicated content creation spaces, including photo, webcast, and television studios.

Your education is just one piece to launching an extraordinary career. Once you’ve mastered the material, you still have to find the job you want, make the right connections, sell your knowledge and experience—and if all this is giving you anxiety, don’t panic. SEMO’s Career Services office is here to help you with the next step. They’ll provide the expertise and support you need, so you’re landing your dream job in no time.
