If you’re seeking career opportunities in native title, policy development or Indigenous affairs and are a student or graduate of anthropology, law or other social sciences, the Aurora Project Native Title Internship Program is a great way to gain valuable work experience supporting Indigenous organisations.
These internships are part of the Aurora Project, which aims to strengthen Indigenous organisations with much-needed human resources while at the same time giving graduates and students the opportunity to work in the field.
At an organisational level, your work will make a real difference to the way Indigenous organisations operate and help build their capacity to lobby and advocate for Indigenous issues. At a personal level, these internships will help you build your skills and knowledge. You’ll learn more about Indigenous issues while forging connections with people who already work with communities.
Career prospects for our interns are exceptional. About sixty per cent of law and anthropology graduates currently working full-time in Native Title Representative Bodies gained their positions from Aurora Native Title Internships or Scholarships, and over twenty per cent of Aurora alumni are currently working in paid positions in indigenous affairs.
You’ll also be part of a wider community of learning and practice, as the Aurora Internships Program attracts students and graduates from universities across Australia and the globe, with over 3,400 applications received and more than 1,200 interns placed, as at winter 2013.As an internship alumnus you’ll receive emails inviting you to events and other networking opportunities, alongside job notices.
If you’re interested in applying, the online application period for the winter 2014 intake opens from 9 am AEST Monday 3 March through to 5 pm AEST Friday 28 March 2014.
Applications can be submitted via the Aurora website.
