Internship-cum-Training Program, Season 2 | Applications Closed

1 Learn new things. A hugely interactive, enlightening environment, fun to be part of. Practise and develop skills at a near-professional level. Get guidance from people already in the activity. Improve skills; develop traits like team spirit, leadership and communication.

2 Meet new people. Make new friends at the internship, find new talented people to interact and network with, get inspired from, and share skills with.

3 An easy stress-free procedure. NTMN understands your priorities. The program is online—you can work from the comfort of your residence. Designed to work fine for you even if you have other commitments like college (we say so since the program is not scheduled during vacations). Working pattern is mainly voluntary.

4 Get crucial opportunities. At a post-Manthan NTMN, there are new opportunities lined up. For the past interns who later got a lifetime chance to be part of our delegation at Manthan Awards, it was our internship that proved to be crucial.

5 Get to explore a student venture closely: (If you get to be a part of the team) A chance to explore a youth venture closely, be part of a professional mechanism, enhance skills that will help you in the future.

In Summer 2011, News That Matters Not organised an internship-cum-training program. It received as many as 541 applications in different fields of work, from 218 students and professionals, based in India and abroad. After an interview procedure, about 40 interns were selected for the program in categories of writing, editing, graphics, web designing, public relations and publicity. The actual program in June–July was a memorable affair, where students got to meet similar-minded and similarly-talented new people, learned a lot from NTMN and fellow interns, and not to forget, had a lot of fun as well. We at NTMN had a great learning experience as well. Some interns went on to occupy key positions in the core Team NTMN.

In December 2011, NTMN received the prestigious 8^th Annual Manthan South Asia Award for best e-content practices (e-news and -media). The Grand Jury appreciated NTMN for its value as a popular youth platform, and also praised its internship program (“…an internship program that features dedicated training in writing and editing, on an individual basis…”). The delegation of NTMN at the two-day Manthan Bazaar and Awards function, was a team of five, and two of them had joined us as interns in June 2011. They enjoyed a huge exposure at an international event, attended by foreign diplomats, government dignitaries and the corporate sector. It was a lifetime experience for them.
