Year ONE is a paid internship offering training and work placements in different areas of WRG’s business. It aims to provide a fully rounded view of what experiential agencies are about. Interns will rotate through WRG’s environments, events, technical production, logistics and experience teams.
The programme will start in July and interns will be placed at either one of WRG’s UK offices in London or Manchester or in the North American office in Philadelphia.
Who can apply?
The scheme is open to anyone over the age of 18 whether school or college leaver, university graduate or those looking for a change from their current role.
Applicants should possess the following qualities: attention to detail, good communication, organisational skills, problem-solving, teamwork, good work ethic, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
No prior experience in events or exhibitions is needed.
Application process
Applicants are required to upload a CV and personal statement. Successful applicants will then be invited for a ‘chemistry call’ in May with one of WRG’s senior team members. Finally, they will be invited to an assessment day at one of WRG’s offices in June.
Successful applicants will start the scheme in July.
Commenting on the scheme, Tim Collett, MD, WRG, said: “During the pandemic, our industry has seen a significant reduction of investment in its new talent.
