Applications are now open for the Disability and Culturally Diverse Internship Program, a partnership between Accessible Arts, Diversity Arts Australia, and a range of arts, cultural and screen organisations across NSW and the ACT.
It is an opportunity to gain valuable insights into the organisations and work available in the arts and cultural sector, while forming connections as emerging creative sector workers.
Any NSW or ACT-based person over the age of 18, who has been actively engaged in or seeking career opportunities in the arts, screen and cultural sector is eligible to apply.
Eight applicants, who identify as both a person with disability or d/Deaf as well as culturally and linguistically diverse/person of colour will be selected, and each will be paid $30 an hour.
The program includes training in customised disability and cultural diversity awareness workshops as well as small business start-up workshops, ongoing business start-up and creative sector networking support beyond training and work experience at two organisations.
Internships will be in a variety of creative and technical areas and a work program will be developed based on the skills and interests of each participant, alongside the opportunities and requirements of the organisation.
All interns will be provided with assistance prior to starting and during their internship, matched to their individual access requirements.
Applications close October 24, 2021.
