ABC MADE, ABC’s award-winning in-house creative team has launched an internship program, MADE Upstart.
Commencing in February 2023, the successful applicants will take part in a six-week paid mentorship, providing them with high-end content marketing campaign experience in TV, radio and digital creative for ABC’s content. Working alongside the senior creative team, the mentees will gain skills and knowledge across a diverse range of teams at the ABC.
Applications are now open and close on Monday 31 October. The application process has called for applicants to be creative, encouraging Tik Tok videos, radio pieces or a script.
Diana Costantini, ABC MADE’s head of creative and creative director said: “ABC MADE Upstart is an exciting new initiative that will set up a pipeline for young creatives.
“Our aim is to increase our pool of talent within the ABC MADE team as well as providing meaningful experiences for people wanting to move into creative industries. We can’t wait to welcome our first interns early next year.”
ABC MADE Upstart sets out to foster emerging talent across a comprehensive range of the national broadcaster’s teams, including television, radio, news, international, commercial and digital networks.
Leisa Bacon, ABC audiences director said “The ABC has a long history of helping people learn and grow through internships and News cadetships.
“The ABC MADE Upstart program expands on that with an opportunity for younger Australians to gain first-hand creative experience within a large media organisation. ABC MADE is an award-winning team eager to share their skills and knowledge.”
To apply, applicants are asked to get creative and submit a piece of work that features ABC content or initiatives. This could be anything from a video, script, radio piece or even a Tik Tok video.
Applicants should complete the submission task and register their application through careers.abc.net.au by Monday, 31 October 2022.
