Is the internship with the state department marked “Pathways”? If so, then it has the potential to convert to a real job. If not, having a security clearance or bring cleared for one in the past is not only good for government jobs, but also for contractors. I am not sure how exactly the state department internship would help besides with having experience with diplomatic processes and maybe having some contacts so that he could market his experience as an aid to overseas filming. However, to the best of my knowledge, non pathways internships offered by the state department rarely turn into careers in the state department. However, it will look great on his resume.
