On March 1, 2007, the Ringier School of Journalism will launch a one-year course for trainees in Ringier's editorial offices. According to the media company, the pilot project is intended to train the next generation of Ringier editorial staff. The trainees will complete a one-year traineeship on a core editorial team and at the same time attend around 40 days of courses at the journalism school. The maximum of 14 participants in the first course will be determined by the respective editorial offices. Priority is given to trainees already working at Ringier. The conditions for admission are a high school diploma, a degree or a completed apprenticeship and the passing of an aptitude test.
The trainees are paid CHF 3,000 per month and attend the school free of charge. On completion of the course, participants receive a diploma from the Ringier School of Journalism. The course will be advertised online from the end of October on Ringier.ch in the "Work" section and in the individual Ringier titles.
The project is supported by the Hans Ringier Foundation and managed by Fridolin Luchsinger. According to a press release, this pilot project aims to remedy the shortage of young talent, particularly in entertainment journalism and online media. Young talents from Ringier's editorial offices are to be discovered and supported, as well as trained in practice and teaching. If possible, graduates will be offered a position at Ringier. The project is reminiscent of the stages offered by Swiss television SF.
