Internships
PRESENCE Learning Network internships offer students and recent graduates the opportunity to gain experience through working on the ground and contributing to the landscape.
The type of work will depend on the requirements of the landscape at the time of the internship. From large-scale assignments to multiple smaller responsibilities, our internships require significant flexibility. Living Lands mentors work with our interns to adapt to the landscape’s needs and we require all interns to embrace ever-changing tasks and requirements with ease.
Internships are offered for a minimum of 3 months, up to a maximum of 6 months. This period allows interns to settle into the area and subject matter and to produce a substantial piece of work. Start and end dates are agreed upon by the intern and the Living Lands mentor.
The Process
After completing the booking enquiry form, your details will be sent to the relevant landscape and a potential mentor will be assigned to you. The mentor will set up a Skype interview and if successful, you will be invited to undertake an internship.
On arrival to the landscape, your Living Lands mentor will provide you with tasks and responsibilities to complete during the internship period.
