The work

What you will learn — and what you will never be asked to do.

You will learn and practise

  • Planning shoots around a business outcome, not an aesthetic
  • Filming interviews and owner-on-camera pieces
  • Short-form editing: hooks, pacing, captions
  • Publishing systems and content calendars
  • Reading performance data and iterating

Typical supervised tasks

  • Shoot assistance and set preparation
  • First-cut edits for mentor review
  • Caption and cover variants
  • Asset organisation and archiving
  • Performance logging for published pieces

Prohibited for interns: unsupervised production responsibility, being presented to clients as experienced staff, replacing an employee’s role, and handling sensitive client data beyond the agreed scope.

Eligibility

The gate is skill, not certificates.

  • Evidence of any video/editing work — personal projects count
  • Access to or fluency with an editing tool (mobile or desktop)
  • Reliability: shoots involve real business owners and fixed times
  • Comfort working in Urdu/Pahari and English

Completing a Thrive Skills programme prepares you for this gate and makes you eligible to attempt it — it does not guarantee selection, and the gate is open to anyone who can pass the assessment.

Selection

Eight stages, applied identically to every applicant.

1

Application

CV or profile, portfolio or samples if you have them, and your availability. Honest beats polished.

2

Eligibility & availability check

Can you actually commit the hours, in the stated mode, for the stated duration? We check before wasting your time.

3

Track-specific skills assessment

A practical gate matched to the track — build a small feature, critique a flow, map search intent, test an app. No trick questions.

4

Portfolio or sample review

What you have made so far, reviewed for evidence of skill and honesty about what is yours.

5

Structured interview

Short and consistent for every candidate — the same core questions, scored the same way.

6

Offer with status and terms

The written offer states compensation status, duration, location, hours, mentor and expectations. Nothing vague.

7

Conduct, confidentiality & IP agreement

Clear rules on client data, communication channels and who owns what — signed before day one.

8

Onboarding & baseline assessment

A recorded starting point, so your final evaluation shows real, measurable growth.

Evaluation & outcomes

Scored on ten dimensions. Outcomes recorded honestly.

The rubric

  • Attendance and reliability
  • Communication
  • Task understanding
  • Quality of output
  • Response to feedback
  • Problem-solving
  • Documentation

Where it can lead

  • Completion certificate
  • Verified skills summary
  • Portfolio permission for non-confidential work
  • Reference, subject to performance
  • Entry to the Thrive talent pool
  • Extended apprenticeship
  • Interview for a paid junior role
  • No progression — with constructive feedback

Compensation is always stated — before you apply

Every published opening states one of: paid (with the stipend amount or range), unpaid training placement (with the exact learning structure and no misleading employment promise), university-credit placement (subject to university approval), or sponsored placement (funded by a partner). Interns doing productive billable client work should normally be paid, and unpaid participants never replace employees, never carry unsupervised production responsibility, and are never represented to clients as experienced staff.
