In October 2011, GAMAA launched the next phase in the successful GAMAA Leadership Education Programme – the GAMAA Industry Overseas Internship Grant valued at $15,000.
This Grant* will be given annually to an industry professional in order to broaden the body of knowledge for the Australian Print and Graphic Media Industry. “The greater our knowledge of other markets, trends and practices, the better prepared our Industry will be to manage change and to compete in this global marketplace,” said Karen Goldsmith, Executive Director, GAMAA.

The GAMAA Grant will enable the successful applicant to learn at the cutting edge and to bring world’s best practices back to their company, and in turn the Industry, by undertaking an internship with company/s of their choice anywhere in the world (outside of Australia).

GAMAA is currently accepting applications for the 2012 Grant with the closing date 2nd March. Please visit the GAMAA website for guidelines and application form - http://gamaa.net.au/leadership/gamaa_industry_overseas_internship_grant/
