AddressThe 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.
