We are looking for projects for interns

Are you a museum? Do you have a great project perfect for an intern?

We are looking for some great museum projects to offer some great graduates for the Museum Graduate Internship Programme (MGIP).

MGIP is a National Services Te Paerangi (NSTP) initiative that enables a recent graduate to work on a project at a museum, guided by a mentor from the museum staff. MGIP aims to provide museums with trained personnel (the interns) who will bring in new knowledge and complete a specified short-term project at the museum. In turn this provides the graduates with the opportunity to take up practical projects in museums. A win-win situation!

Suggested internship projects might be: documentation of a particular collection or the planning of a forthcoming exhibition. This year two to four internships will be available (dependant on length on internships).

* Does your museum have a project but has limited resources and can't hire staff to complete it?

* Is the project 2-3 months in length and collection or curatorial based?

* Is there a suitably skilled senior staff member that can be the graduate's mentor?

* And, can you offer support for the graduate such as low cost or free accommodation, travel expenses, contribution towards the intern’s stipend?

If this sounds like your museum, then please continue reading!

Attached below is the MGIP criteria and application form.
