Learning comes first.
This is an opportunity to develop your skills, not simply collect a CV credit. The focus is skill-building, practical exercises, feedback, and understanding how a media team works.

WHAT THIS
ACTUALLY IS.
The El-Shai Mentorship Program is a practical learning experience inside a working media company. You'll get guidance, feedback, and opportunities to practice. Your assignments might be exercises designed to help you improve, not content we intend to publish. The focus is your development, not producing published work.
BEFORE YOU APPLY.
02 /
Take initiative.
We'll support your development, but we can't do the learning for you. Research, practice, ask questions, and follow through on your assignments. We value progress over perfection.
03 /
Know the arrangement.
The initial mentorship lasts one month and is unpaid. It is focused on training, not replacing paid staff. Any continuation is discussed individually and is never guaranteed.
04 /
Respect each other's time.
Mentoring requires time from our team. If someone repeatedly fails to participate, ignores feedback, or doesn't complete agreed learning activities, we may end the mentorship early. Serious misconduct may lead to immediate termination.
05 /
Plans can change.
We're a working newsroom. If an emergency or exceptional workload prevents us from providing proper guidance, we may postpone or pause training and communicate the change. You're also free to leave the program.
06 /
Places are limited.
Applying doesn't guarantee acceptance. We only accept mentees when we have the capacity to provide a worthwhile learning experience.
Our commitment
WE TAKE YOUR LEARNING SERIOUSLY.
WE ASK YOU TO DO THE SAME.
We don't measure interns by how much content they produce. We care about curiosity, growth, reliability, and a genuine willingness to improve.
