The Royal Alberta Museum is pleased to host post-secondary students for internships, integrating theoretical learning through practical application. We provide opportunities to work with all departments within the museum, including hands-on experience with our collections.
Benefits
Working alongside museum professionals, interns will gain knowledge of best practices, while also providing the opportunity to identify their own strengths and interests. Students can use their experience as a stepping-stone to enhance their education and consider a potential future career or academic pathways. Internships also provide excellent opportunities for networking and mentorship.
