The Works has three paid positions available in its internship program and one candidate will be taken on by the agency permanently.
The three candidates will work across Woolworths Everyday Rewards, Jim Beam, Skoda, Brother and Virgin Money.
The announcement:
Three graduates who show outstanding creative flair will be given the opportunity to get a foot in the advertising door as part of a paid internship program launched by The Works, with one lucky candidate being taken on permanently by the agency.
Unlike the majority of other agency run graduate programs which target mainly account service positions and are not paid, The Works internship is open to any graduate who has a creative mind and ambition that is looking for their big break and wants to earn some money.
The Works invests heavily in developing its creative talent and believes the best result for clients comes from creatives who are actively engaged on their business rather than distanced by unnecessary layers of account service.
Entry for the internship program, which is called The Works Grads, requires no formal advertising ormarketing qualifications or training and there is no age limit on applicants – they just have to be a graduate who can show some serious creative potential.
The three successful candidates will get to work on some high-profile brands including Woolworths Everyday Rewards, Jim Beam, SKODA, Brother and Virgin Money. The internships will last between four and nine weeks with the candidates assessed throughout until there is one remaining who will be offered a fulltime role at the agency.
“Encouraging and nurturing new creative talent is a top priority for us because without it we don’t have a business and we firmly believe that creatives need to be more closely integrated with clients at all times,” said Kevin Macmillan, creative partner and founder of The Works.
“These three internships are open to anyone that has a creative spark. There’s a good chance they will not have more formal advertising training but may have an interest in technology development, social media or content creation,” Macmillan added.
“It’s a rare opportunity to work on some major brand names, get experience and get paid for it as well. The person judged to be the most promising and most ambitious of the three will then be offered a full-time job at The Works.”
Those interested should submit an application form, CV and a 20 second video of their personal ambition. Twenty successful applicants will then be sent a creative test with a shortlist of ten making it through to the final round. They will attend a day long assessment at The Works made up of general and advertising-related tasks with three winning candidates starting on 12 March.
