The program provides targeted training and mentorship, ensuring that participants develop key skills while contributing to work that directly reaches decision-makers.

Availability Criteria
FORE Australia runs online internship and training programs.
Interns are empowered to have full control over which days of the week they would like to work. To ensure a rewarding and manageable experience, we ask for:
-
A commitment of 2-5 full days per week (excluding public holidays).
-
While most team members will generally work 9-5 pm AEDT/AEST, we do offer flexibility to fit around your schedule, start earlier, start later, etc.; it's all ok! However, we do tend to meet as a group at 10 am and 4:30 pm AEDT (Sydney time), so attendance at these should be prioritised where possible.
-
You are entitled to leave should you get sick or have other, unavoidable commitments. This will be detailed and discussed upon your acceptance into the program.
If you have any questions regarding your availability and if you’ll be eligible for the program, feel free to email info@foreaustralia.com.
