#METAIQ INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Applications for the METAIQ summer internship programme opened on 1 March!
If you have any questions about the application process or tasks, please feel free to contact Kerli Soe (kerli.soe@metaadvisory.ee).
This summer, we are taking on three knowledge interns for the #METAIQ summer internship programme, offering them the opportunity to go into the world of public relations or communications with a personal mentor. The exact duration of the internship will be agreed with the supervisor on a one-to-one basis, in order to take into account the intern’s wishes and studies.
The deadline for applications is 23 March!
🧠 Whether you’re a future PR talent, a government relations expert, or a digital and multimedia specialist—here’s your chance to roll up the sleeves and take the first step towards your dreams!
If you’d like to
- see how Estonia’s sharpest government relations and PR professionals work;
- get an insight into the soul of both domestic and international brands;
- develop strategies, solve crises, and harness your creativity;
then prove to us that you are the future because META is on the lookout for talent!
This year, we are looking for six particularly knowledge-hungry trainees to our #METAIQ internship program to whom META will offer the opportunity to head off into the world of communications with a personal mentor.
If you are looking for an opportunity to join a leading government relations and PR agency, #METAIQ is the place to be!
We have recruited eight assistants to the META teams from the last four years of traineeship programme participants. Laura Põldma, who joined us in 2021 after completing the internship programme, has now grown into a junior consultant. The 2023 traineeship was a particularly great one, with four talented young people joining META afterwards. Many other #METAIQ participants have also quickly found professional jobs!
Why METAIQ?
As part of a META traineeship, you have the unique opportunity to
- to get involved in the day-to-day work of our consultants while learning from our market-leading clients and their top experts;
- work on real projects that give you more freedom than usual but also require responsibility;
- to be a full member of our team – to be part of the team life and life and the different enriching humour schools within META!
WHat does METAIQ consist of?
- A personal tutor. Your personal mentor from among the META consultants, who will share experiences from your infinite early years, help you set development goals, and support you with continuous feedback throughout your internship.
- A comprehensive training programme. In addition to being closely involved in our clients’ projects, META consultants have developed a comprehensive training programme covering different aspects of the agency’s work. This also includes visits to a number of our clients during the internship.
- Flexibility. To ensure a meaningful internship with enough time for familiarisation and in-depth work, interns are always welcome in our office, where direct contact with mentors and colleagues is guaranteed. At the same time, each trainee can make flexible arrangements with the supervisor to work partly from home if they wish.
- Internship salary. The internship is paid at META!
What will the internship give me?
You will work with a personal supervisor who will help you set your goals. With us, the trainee has the opportunity to set goals and decide which communication skills to develop and test in practice. Tasks may vary from field to field—but they tend to be versatile!
Generally speaking, we promise that after the traineeship in marketing communications or reputation management team
- you’ll understand the basics of media relations, and you’ll have had the chance to test your knowledge by interacting with journalists (by the way, the META team includes several former journalists with long experience!);
- you have first-hand experience in developing integrated communication strategies and plans and in analyzing the client’s needs and the messaging environment;
- you know the basics of project management and can juggle between different projects with ease and plan your time skilfully;
- have developed inspiring role models in the world of communication and have made many new contacts.
By completing a traineeship in a government relations team
- you will understand the practical process of policymaking and how organizations and people can get involved;
- see the policy behind the scenes and contribute to developments on topical issues;
- gain a better sense of political reality and distinguish the important from the irrelevant;
- see the links between politics, economics, and society.
