The Corporate Knights Internship Program
We invite you to apply for our internship.

The Corporate Knights Internship Program lasts four months with our next cycle commencing September 2010.

The internship will consist of a minimum of 20 hours per week with flexible scheduling available. A small stipend will be based on the intern’s ability and availability.

Candidates with backgrounds in politics, business, engineering, statistics, environment, geography, development, and English are a good fit for Corporate Knights. A passion for sustainability is a must. Successful candidates will be self-motivated, flexible, and deadline- and detail-oriented. The internship requires a strong knowledge of Microsoft Excel. Mathematical and statistical understanding is an asset.

Responsibilities of the intern include subscription management; fact-checking stories; data mining; proofreading copy; responding to mail, faxes, phone calls, and emails; assessing pitches; uploading articles to the Corporate Knights website; office administration; and, if the intern shows interest and ability, some writing.

In return, the intern will receive the chance to delve in-depth into Canadian and international sustainability issues. The intern will also be exposed to the editorial and production processes of a national magazine. Click here for past interns’ testimonials.

2. A 400-word review of the latest issue (available here)
3. A 100-word review of the website
4. One writing sample, with preference given to those with writing experience comparable to Corporate Knights editorial.

The application deadline is August 24, 2010. We thank all applicants who respond, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
