Internships

Paid internships are a fantastic way to gain industry insight and experience. They allow you to embed yourself within an organisation, upskill and learn on the job.

Environmental Storytellers Programme

Throughout 2026 we’re partnering with production companies and environmental storytelling focused organisations across the UK to host ten paid traineeship opportunities through the Wildscreen Environmental Storytellers Programme.

The programme is supporting UK based 18-30 year olds from underrepresented backgrounds hoping to pursue careers in natural world storytelling, supporting them to get paid experience within the TV, Conservation and Storytelling sectors.

Kindly supported by the John Lewis Partnership Foundation, we are working with organisations to diversify natural world storytelling and support young people to take their first steps within the industry.

Opportunities will be listed below when applications open.
