Internship and Mentoring Program
Each year Humanities 21 offers internships that provide an exciting opportunity to work and enhance skills in one of three areas:
social media and communications strategy (good copywriting and research skills needed)
video production (requiring the ability to shoot, edit - with any software - and post creative content for social media platforms and website)
our schools program, promoting the value of choosing a humanities education.
Interns join the Humanities 21 team on a part-time basis, usually for a 6 month period, receiving guidance and mentorship. The H21 Internship Program connects interns with H21 committee and staff members who are accomplished industry professionals from diverse careers and backgrounds. Professional and personal development is fostered by engagement with interesting and worthwhile projects, combined with regular one-on-one mentoring sessions, reflection and feedback. Interns also work collaboratively with other interns across project areas, building friendships and peer networks.
Specifically, the internship program aims to build confidence in:
Identifying career pathways
Building professional networks with H21 mentors, interns and associates
Developing valuable and marketable workplace skills
Setting personal and professional goals
Articulating how humanities skills transfer to the workplace.
Please note that as a not-for-profit organisation, these internships are unpaid positions. The time commitment is approximately 5 hours per week. Applicants for these internships must currently be resident in Australia.
