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 get real-world experience under their belt. We’re seeking passionate and ambitious individuals eager to gain hands-on experience across our radio departments.

Across the eight weeks, no two days will look the same, giving you a broad hands-on feel for what it’s like to work within our Radio station! One day you might be creating content with our producers and on-air talent across our different programs, attending press conferences for our Newsroom, engaging audiences through posts on our social media platforms or you could learn panel operation for smooth live or pre-recorded broadcasts, managing timing, content, and audio quality. You will truly gain a comprehensive understanding of what it’s like to work within our Radio station.

Based out of East Perth, 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.

About you

• You are available for full-time work, for eight weeks commencing mid/late October 2024. You may be required to work across different shifts (day, afternoon, nights and weekends).

Our goal is that we give you the training across the eight weeks to be ready post-program to go into a casual or full-time position! So if you prove yourself, there will be opportunities after!
