POLITICO is accepting applications for its fifth session of the POLITICO Journalism Institute (PJI), an educational initiative focused on supporting diversity in Washington newsrooms.
The intensive 10-day program, which is designed for college students, will be held May 29 to June 9, 2018, with hands-on training for up to 12 university students interested in covering government and politics.
In addition, two students are selected each year to return for a three-month residency in the POLITICO newsroom, where they will write, edit and produce content. The POLITICO Residency Program, also entering its fifth year, includes two paid positions and housing allowances. Both programs reflect POLITICO's ongoing support of journalism education, a more diverse industry and recruitment of top-notch talent.
Applications must be completed and submitted by 11:59 pm on Jan. 15, 2018. To apply, visit https://recruiting.ultipro.com/PER1013PCLL/JobBoard/b972ff6a-41b7-4e97-9c71-273c2595c77d/OpportunityDetail?opportunityId=8f11df25-a122-4348-a292-1881cf5c7d3c
