CEO Tom Weldon introduces Penguin's internship schemes

I am extremely proud to introduce the internship schemes that run across Penguin. From the Penguin Internship Scheme which was newly-launched for 2012 to the positive-action traineeships like the Pearson Diversity Summer Internship Programme and the Helen Fraser Fellowship, there are a wide range of opportunities to get involved with the company and start your career in publishing.

These programmes exist to try and open up the prospect of a career in publishing to as wide a group of people as possible. As we all know, getting into publishing can be incredibly tough and so the premise behind our programmes is to give our interns a meaningful, paid experience at Penguin and a proper introduction to the publishing world. Each manager who hosts an intern has to come up with a project for the person to get stuck into during their time here – i.e. on our internship schemes you won’t be confined to the photocopier!

But don’t take my word for it – some of our current interns have kindly agreed to write for the Penguin Blog so you can see first-hand what life is like for an intern at Penguin.

I'm currently studying at the Audio Visual Arts Dept. of the Ionian University, Greece, and we happen to have several graphic design - publication related courses. I'd love to get an internship in Penguin, since, after my graduation, my goal is to get a Master's Degree in publications. So... I really hope it's possible for a foreign student to get an internship at Penguin!

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

Only if the eye happen to be cleaned through holes, may we now have the wider area associated with eyesight.

In the event that we are able to just experience one another instead of remain with one another, i quickly desire we'd in no way experienced.
