Penguin Random House

The Publishing Process

Creative Access & Penguin Random House mentoring programme

Closing date for applications: July 5 at 11.59pm
Term: Monday to Friday for 4 weeks
Dates: July 25 - Friday August 19, 2022
Location: 61 Queen Street, London, EC4R 1AE - close to London Bridge and Cannon Street stations, and there is a Santander bike rack very close by.
 
Do you want to be a journalist? In just four weeks you could gain a recognised journalism qualification while being trained at one of Europe’s leading media companies.
On the Become a Journalist Summer School from PA Training and the Google News Initiative, you will learn the essential skills of being a journalist — from the basics of news reporting, to video journalism, podcasting, digital journalism skills, media law and either feature writing or sport. You’ll finish the course with an NCTJ Certificate in Foundation Journalism.
 
What is it?
You’ll join us in our central London training centre to build your journalism skills through hands-on training – you won’t be sitting at a desk all day. You’ll be writing stories, making your own videos, recording your own podcasts, and putting digital skills into practice as you work towards a Certificate in Foundation Journalism.
The course is the gateway to becoming a fully-qualified journalist, and could help you bag a place on an NCTJ Diploma course to become a professional journalist, or win a journalism apprenticeship where you are paid as you train. It’s also worth 16 Ucas points.
You need to be over 18 as of 25th July 2022 to take part in this course.
 
Who runs it?
The course is run by PA Training and the Google News Initiative. PA Training is the sister company of PA Media -- the UK and Ireland’s national news agency who you may know better as the Press Association. They report on everything from the royals to football transfers; political dramas to the Bafta awards.
That means you’ll hear from experienced journalists and experts from Google, and you’ll learn how news organisations really work and the kind of jobs you might expect to do in them. You’ll also get to have lunch with working journalists and find out how they launched their careers – and their top tips for standing out and landing a job.
This qualification is awarded by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. The NCTJ is the gold-standard when it comes to journalism training, so employers and course-tutors will recognise that you’ve made significant first steps towards becoming a journalist.
 
How do I apply?
<ul>
<li>Upload your CV and cover letter as one document (applications that don't answer the question below will not be accepted)</li>
<li>Once submitted, you can no longer amend your application, so proof-read carefully</li>
<li>Do not contact the company directly</li>
<li>Please email any queries about this role to Creative Access at this address: <a href="mailto:recruit@creativeaccess.org.uk" target="_blank">recruit@creativeaccess.org.uk</a></li>
</ul>
 
What to include in your cover letter
Journalism is all about sharing the stories and lives of other people. Whose story would you like to tell? In no more than 200 words, explain why you’d choose this person and their story. It could be someone famous who you admire or find inspirational, somebody you’re curious to hear more about, or someone you know and think other people should also get to know. From Lizzo to your gran, all choices are welcome so long as they are real, not fictional
PA Training are keen to hear from you in your own words, so try and convince us why this person and their story matters to you – and why you think other people will be interested too.
Other key details to include:
<ul>
<li>Where and what did you last study?</li>
<li>Will you be 18 or over by July 25 2022?</li>
<li>Will you be able to attend in person in central London between July 25 and August 19?</li>
</ul>
 
We’re really keen to hear from people interested in journalism who are from under-represented backgrounds. Many newsrooms do not represent the society they report on, and we want to help change that. If you from a Black, Asian or diverse ethnic background, are from a lower socio-economic group, or are disabled, then we’d particularly like to hear from you.
The successful candidate for this opportunity will also participate in a Creative Access support programme that sits alongside workplace training. This includes a programme of induction training, monthly masterclasses, wellbeing support, buddying / mentoring and more.

Do you like the sound of supporting the day-to-day running of a gallery whilst getting the chance to assist each department, over the course of the 4 months?
Pace Gallery’s internship programme offers a structured, well-rounded learning experience to support career development and provide opportunities in the arts sector to people from under-represented backgrounds.
This internship offers a thorough insight into every aspect of the commercial gallery world, including sales, marketing, exhibitions, operations, shipping and art handling. This position is aimed at those who would like to gain experience across the workings of the gallery and who, in return, can offer a new and different perspective. The key requirements are an enthusiastic willingness to learn, a can-do attitude and a proactive personality. The gallery's aim is to attract people who might not have thought about working in the arts sector before or who have not yet had the opportunity to gain experience.
