Looking for Work Experience While You Study? We want to hear from you

Are you looking for practical work experience while you study? Are you interested in building your portfolio, gaining exposure to real projects or contributing your skills to something bigger? ERA wants to hear from you.

You do not have to wait until you graduate to start building experience. You can start now.

While you are studying, you can already be writing, researching, designing, marketing, creating content, working with communities, supporting businesses, developing technology or contributing to projects connected to your field.

At ERA, we are creating opportunities for students to participate in real work while continuing with their studies.

You may be interested in journalism.

You may be studying marketing.

You may be a researcher.

You may be interested in law, development, business, technology, design, communications or community work.

Whatever your area, there may be an opportunity for you to contribute.

Some opportunities may be focused on gaining experience and building your portfolio. Some may provide exposure to professionals and other projects.

Some may become paid opportunities as projects and partnerships develop.

What matters is that you have an opportunity to begin participating.
