The Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Internship Program is structured to prepare students to be productive members of the tourism industry. Students in the program spend time supporting various departments – convention sales and servicing, tourism, sports, marketing and administration – in order to gain workplace experience, professional and skill development, mentorship, career exploration, and professional maturity, all within a structured environment.
The Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau is committed to fostering local relationships and is honored to provide learning opportunities for the next generation of leaders in the tourism industry.
The inaugural class of the GBCVB internship program, featuring students from Wenonah High School’s Hospitality & Tourism program, joined our team in the fall of 2025. Get a sneak peak into the program thanks to this video from our friends at the city of Birmingham.
