Job Summary
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 National Gallery of Canada develops educational programming in connection with special exhibitions and the national collection. The TD intern will have the opportunity to develop content and participate in product evaluation, acquiring valuable work experience in an art museum environment.
Under the supervision of an Educator, the intern will conduct research on artworks in the national collection and develop an inventory of potential content for a multi-media guide, to be launched by 2020. The intern will also assist with the evaluation of the Gauguin Portraits audio-guide app which will be available for download in conjunction with the 2019 summer exhibition.
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 3 June 2019 through 13 September 2019.
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.
