The Decanter 360 Academy Trainee Programme is returning for a second placement at Decanter. Aimed at individuals with real enthusiasm for wine, who are looking to take their first steps in a wine industry career.
The programme is dedicated to increasing diversity and inclusivity within the wine sector by providing chances for underrepresented communities.
We acknowledge that there is still much work to be done within the wine industry to reach full diversity and inclusivity, and we are eager to contribute to this improvement. We also understand that the wine industry can appear quite intimidating from the outside.
That’s why we’ve introduced our Decanter 360 Academy Trainee Programme.
If you’re interested in the world of wine but don’t know where to start, this might just be the opportunity for you.
Our 360 Academy will offer one person from an under-represented background* the chance to gain valuable experience – while getting paid a full London Living Wage salary – working across every department of the Decanter brand including editorial, sales, marketing and events with specific focus to the Decanter World Wine Awards.
* this is by no means an exhaustive list, but this includes people from ethnic minorities, people of colour, those with physical health/disability, mental health issues, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, neurodivergence, and those from LGBTQIA+ or traveller communities.
The successful candidate will also work towards completing a wine-related qualification to help kickstart their wine industry career.
At Decanter, we’re proud to be owned by Future, a leading global multi-platform media company. Future connects people to their passions through the high-quality content we create and the innovative technology we pioneer.
Applications are now open and will close on Friday 21 June 2024.
