World Curling’s Sports Media Trainee Programme is designed to give young professionals the opportunity to gain invaluable, hands-on media experience at international curling events.
Aspiring sports media professionals can apply for the Programme in two categories:
- Communications Assistant
- Photographer
Trainee Communication Assistants interview athletes, write feature stories, create content for social media and report on the competition.
Photographers are tasked with capturing, editing, selecting and distributing images of the competition.
The work of both trainees is published on the World Curling website and social media channels which can be used by our Member Associations and external media outlets.
It is World Curling’s ambition to provide its trainees with vital knowledge and experience that helps them progress prospective careers within the media industry.
World Curling cover all travel, accommodation and incidental costs for trainees.
