APA Publishing Internship Program 2010
Proudly Supported by Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) Cultural Fund
Publishers, would you like to receive funding for an internship placement in your company in 2010?
Applications now open to publishers for funding for a paid intern for a six month period, as part of the APA Publishing Internship Program 2010
The APA Publishing Internship Program, supported by the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) Cultural Fund, assists publishers in filling a growing need for the strategic placement of quality candidates into key internship positions within their companies. This is a wonderful opportunity for publishers to engage talented and qualified publishing graduates, and to attract the best and brightest into training for key positions within their companies. The program is advertised nationally and draws applications from highly qualified and talented candidates. In 2009 we received over 800 applications for the five positions offered. The deadline for publisher applications for the 2010 program is Monday 8th February, 2010.
Over the past two years the program has provided funding for TEN paid interns for a period of six months full time for each placement. The program was launched in November 2007, and in 2008 and 2009 internship positions were offered at the following publishing companies: Text Publishing, Melbourne - Editorial Intern; Cambridge University Press, Melbourne - Development Editor Intern; Allen & Unwin, Sydney - Editorial Intern; UWA Press, Perth - Editorial Intern; Aboriginal Studies Press (AIATSIS), Canberra - Publishing Intern; Oxford University Press, Melbourne – Editorial Intern; Black Dog Books, Melbourne – Editorial Intern; Scribe Publications, Melbourne – Editorial Intern; Walker Books, Sydney – Book Design Intern; Australian Book Review, Melbourne – Editorial Intern.
Publishing Company Application Guidelines 2010:
The 2010 program will provide funding for FOUR paid interns for a period of six months full time for each placement. There are three internship categories and publishers may make an application in more than one relevant category using separate applications. For detailed guidelines and information about how to apply please download this Word document. For an application form please download this Word document. Publishers may decide, in consultation with successful candidates, to spread the placement over a longer period on a pro-rata basis. Internships are expected to be completed in 2010. Applications are open to APA member companies.
Please Note: Publishers who have previously received funding for an internship placement under this program are not eligible to apply in 2010.
The program is highly competitive and in previous years we received a wonderful response from publishers with many very strong proposals. Publishers who were unsuccessful in receiving funding for previous applications are strongly encouraged to reapply or resubmit an amended application.
Please Note:
Applications should indicate clearly what the intern will be expected to have learnt/experienced at the end of the placement, and should demonstrate a strong sense of taking the intern through an ‘intensive’ learning process;
The application should clearly demonstrate that the publishing company is dedicated to the program from an industry perspective, and has an understanding of its contribution to the long-term development of a highly skilled publishing sector.
