GPY&R Brisbane launches ‘Generator’ creative internship program to foster talent in QLD

Queensland AWARD School students will now be offered an extra incentive thanks to GPY&R Brisbane’s new Generator creative internship program. Aimed at fostering young creative talent in Queensland, GPY&R will offer three-to-six month paid internships to recent AWARD School graduates.

Says Brendan Greaney and Andrew Thompson, creative directors, GPY&R Brisbane: “The program is about generating world-class ideas as well as generating world-class creative talent here in Brisbane.”

Generator will be offered to students participating in the upcoming Queensland AWARD School commencing in April 2015. At the end of the course, GPY&R Brisbane will select one graduate to take part in the program.

Says Hanns Bergs of the Communications Council Queensland: “We’re thrilled that GPY&R are pre-committing to taking on Award School Graduates. Award School recognises the cream of the upcoming creative crop, so any program that supports talented young creative individuals entering the industry is fully supported by the Comms Council.”

AWARD School Queensland 2015 registrations of interest are now open; with application portfolios due by 27 Feb and first lecture on Monday 20 April.
