will bring together a talented group of journalists and journalists-to-be from around the world and provide them nine months of intensive classroom training and hands-on, real-world experience in London, New York and Singapore. Trainees will be paid during the program. Those who meet the rigorous standards will be offered staff positions. And they’ll be assigned mentors to help guide their career with Reuters.
We’re looking for people who are committed to journalism and its future. You don’t have to be a journalist, but you need to convince us you’re serious about becoming one. We want people with a passion for business and international news and are interested in working globally. You can be a recent graduate, a working journalist, or someone with a specialist background- law, medicine, computer science, accounting, etc. – who wants to start a new career.
Fluency in English – and the ability to write well and quickly- is a must. Advanced language skills – in Arabic, Mandarin, Russian, for example- are a plus. Expertise in data analysis and programming is an advantage. Multimedia experience will give you an edge, too.
