for summer 2024. Our internships are designed to allow you to get to know the company and us to get to know you. Our internship programme is also one of our means of recruiting new staff, and several of our current employees started out as interns. While we can’t guarantee that an internship will lead to a long-term position with us, we can guarantee that the experience you gain will be relevant, useful, and representative of what happens in a professional publishing company.
