About the Internship
The eight-week paid Radio Internship Program is an ideal opportunity for the next generation of Australia’s diverse radio talent to build their skills and gain real-world experience. We’re seeking passionate and ambitious individuals eager to gain hands-on experience across our radio departments.
Across the eight weeks, you will work alongside a variety of programs, on-air talent and experienced producers, producing content for our broadcasts and engaging with listeners. The internship will also offer opportunities to experience working in the 2GB Newsroom alongside journalists, to understand how they generate, write and present live and recorded bulletins – as well as engage audiences through posts on our social media platforms, marketing, or even supporting our podcasting teams! You will truly gain a comprehensive understanding of what it’s like to work within our Radio station.
Based out of Pyrmont, the internship program is managed by our Radio Station & Content Manager and you will be buddied up with a Mentor for each of your rotations.
