 The ACS Foundation is looking for a part-time intern to join their team based in Sydney CBD. The successful intern will be a part of organising and running the BiG Day In, a national ICT Careers Conference designed to inform, inspire and encourage high school and university students to pursue a career in technology, and the BiG Day In Junior, days consisting of 3-5 workshops held by ICT-related companies to educate and inspire students in Years 5 and 6 about the possibilities of a career in STEM.

A successful candidate will have the flexibility to travel nationally for the BiG Day In events in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, Hobart, Canberra, Adelaide, Darwin & Perth.

Responsibilities:

• Co-ordinate, manage and co-host the BiG Day In events;
• Design and develop digital campaigns – graphic designs for event posters, floor banners, and other ad-hoc design duties;
• Collaborate with co-hosts from host venues;
• Liaise with and manage crew members/ volunteers;
• Create and organize slide decks and scripts;
• Occasional outbound calling to high schools.

• An eye for detail

• Flexibility to work a minimum of 2 full days a week (ideally a minimum of 3 full days a week from March – June) and travel interstate;
