Job Description:

Generously supported by TD Bank (TD), this competitive, paid internship offers study and training opportunities and work experience in the field of:

Education and Public Programming in Art Museums

The intern will be given the opportunity to acquire valuable work experience in an art museum environment. As the National Gallery of Canada develops programming in connection with special exhibitions and the permanent collection, an internship opportunity exists in the area of interpretive planning and program evaluation.

We are seeking an intern who will research, plan and implement enhancements to school outreach programs, assist in the standardization of documentation around interpretive planning, and evaluate learning spaces and gallery texts developed in conjunction with our 2018 summer exhibitions.

The TD Internship Program is designed to provide entrance-level professional development opportunities for students contemplating careers in the museum, library, or archives fields.

Internships will be for a term of 12 weeks, although the period can vary depending upon the requirements of both the candidate and the museum program involved.

Residency must be completed during the period 11 June 2018 through 14 September 2018.

Internships are valued at $7,500 for the twelve-week term, and will be pro-rated in the case of approved shorter or longer periods of internship. Interns may be eligible for a discretionary $750 relocation allowance.

A performance/progress evaluation will be provided twice during the internship: an informal exchange at the fourth week to ensure that learning and project objectives are being met and to evaluate the satisfaction of both parties; the second evaluation will be more formal and will be conducted at the end of the internship – a written evaluation of the work done and the intern’s performance will be completed by the supervisor of the internship, the intern will prepare a report to assess the success of the internship for both the National Gallery and TD.
