Special Opportunities from CCCO
Cultural Careers Council of Ontario: Internship/Mentorship Opportunity & Business Skills for Artists Course
Call for Mentor Organizations and Interns: The Fundraising and Marketing Internship Program
Deadline, Wednesday, September 1st
Cultural Careers Council Ontario (CCCO) is very pleased to announce The 2010 Fundraising and Marketing Internship program, with funding from Service Canada’s Career Focus, Youth Employment Strategy Project.
This 28 week paid internship program is for emerging arts administrators to acquire marketing and fundraising skills from on-the-job work experience in an Ontario arts organization.
How does it Work?
CCCO is calling for applications from both mentor organizations and interns. The mentor organizations must have (or must create) an entry level fundraising or marketing position. There are a limited number of internships (15) so organizations will be accepted on the basis of the experience they can provide. CCCO will reimburse the organizations half of the intern wages, including benefits.
CCCO will recruit intern applications by posting on the WorkinCulture job board. CCCO will screen applications, to ensure that the candidates are suitable, based on experience and interest, and that the Service Canada eligibility requirements are met. Mentor organizations may also recruit interns, but CCCO must be consulted to ensure eligibility. Resumes of the successful candidates will be sent to the mentoring organizations, which will then conduct interviews and choose their intern.
CCCO will contribute $7,500 (an amount equal to half of the salary, vacation pay, CPP and EI payroll contributions for 28 weeks) to the mentor organizations. Organizations will pay the interns $479.15 per week, plus 4% vacation pay.
The internships will start Monday, September 13th, 2010 and continue for 28 weeks.
Who is Eligible?
A mentor organization must be an incorporated Ontario company or professional not-for-profit organization in the performing arts, visual arts and crafts, heritage, music and sound recording, film and television, broadcasting, writing and publishing, or multi-media fields.
Interns must be 30 years of age or less, post-secondary graduates and be unemployed or under-employed.
Complete conditions of eligibility are stated in both the mentor and intern application.
