Travel Media Awards Step Up

The Travel Media Awards Step Up scheme is an internship programme designed to drive diversity and inclusion in travel media for young people, by giving 18-30 year olds from underrepresented backgrounds the opportunity to gain experience and mentorship in journalism, publishing and public relations.

The scheme is offering FIVE successful candidates the chance to undertake invaluable work placement with 10 leading travel media companies, each undertaking a four-week placement with two partner companies.

Successful candidates will each work with two of the below partner companies:

• APL Media
• easyJet holidays
• FINN Partners
• Ink Global
• Intrepid Travel
• Kuoni
• Metro
• The Sun
• TTG Media
• Virgin Atlantic

Step Up interns will also receive a further six months of mentoring, as well as join us at this year's Travel Media Awards in autumn 2025, with promising careers ahead of them in travel media, be that consumer, trade or PR. The Step Up programme is open to anyone aged 18-30 who can demonstrate a passion for travel media and identifies as coming from an underrepresented demographic. Applicants must be UK residents and have the right to work.
