Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) is launching an engineering programme specifically designed for women in sports broadcasting.
OBS, which produces the host broadcast for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said its Engineering the Future internship programme would provide more opportunities for women in broadcast and help to pave the way for gender equality in sports broadcasting.
Fields like broadcast engineering and telecommunications have traditionally been male-dominated.
Targeted specifically at women pursuing studies in broadcast engineering, telecommunications, and related fields, it is a 24-week internship that gives the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in a professional broadcast setting.
Selected participants will work during the planning phase of the broadcast operations for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
Interns will work closely with experienced professionals and department managers, learning how to design, implement, and maintain the broadcast systems needed to deliver the Olympic Games.
OBS said participants will gain insight into the latest broadcast technologies, such as IP-based workflows, remote production, and innovative delivery methods.
The internship will run from 10 January 2025 for a total of 24 weeks at the OBS offices in Madrid. The schedule will be tailored to align with the academic commitments of the candidates and the needs of the Broadcast Engineering department.
The closing date for applications is 19 November. More details can be found here.
