Could you create a 60-second YouTube video of creative amazement?
Could you pen a pitch that sells us YOU?
How about a photo story that shows us why YOU should get your hands on a brilliant paid marketing internship??!!
One thing's for sure: you deserve a fair deal this summer: PAID marketing internships.
The debate over paid or unpaid internships is hot property right now - we firmly believe that if interns are working, they should be paid for their work.
We also understand that you’re facing one of the most challenging job markets in recent years, with scarce jobs and tough competition.
And we want to change that.
Stopgap Apprentice is a brand new scheme that aims to help fresh graduate talent (just like you!) to get an invaluable foot on the career ladder. We’ve teamed up with some fantastic clients to offer a range of PAID six-week internships this summer, giving you the chance to earn some invaluable experience, while earning.
On board so far, we have confirmed internships with Ebury Publishing, Vintage Publishing, Cornerstone, Transworld and ICLP, with more high-profile clients set to be announced over the next few weeks.
So what do you need to do to win one of these brilliant paid apprenticeships? Easy. You can create a 60-second YouTube video of yourself, or you could write a 60-second 'pitch' of yourself - we want you to apply with your CV and something that shows us why YOU want to be one of our Stopgap Apprentices. You can be as creative and innovative as you like! We’ve even hired Lord Callum Sugar and Adam Brady to give you some tips…
IT'S THAT EASY.
