Students - apply for intern, part-time traffic courses

Interns wanted

Each year AMASA collaborates with South Africa's leading media companies who mentor the ALP interns and fast track their hands-on experience. During the programme, both AMASA and the partner companies will train the ALP interns jointly, with each intern receiving a six-month remunerated contract with a host company as well as free entrance to the AAA media course and the AMASA Media Planning Workshop.

AMASA's chair, Lyn Jones comments, "The ALP is for graduates who not only possess exceptional academic credentials, but outstanding potential. It offers talented graduates a unique foot into the media industry and the opportunity to be mentored by some of the most respected professionals in the industry. Simultaneously, the ALP assists in curbing the talent shortage from an agency perspective."

The ALP is open to any candidates with a tertiary qualification; however, preference will be given to graduates who have higher grade maths, BCom, marketing, statistics and research qualifications.

Application forms can be downloaded, completed and submitted without supporting documentation to moc.liamg@PLAasamA by no later than 31 March 2012. Selected candidates should be available to commence employment in early May 2012.
