Remote Editorial Intern

CIM Magazine, which covers the latest advances in ideas, trends and technology in the Canadian mining industry online and in print eight times a year, is offering a four-month paid internship for upper-year students and recent graduates.

The intern will work remotely from home and have the chance to contribute to all aspects of magazine editorial, in both print and online.

There are no boring assignments at CIM Magazine – the mining industry is rapidly experiencing change, from its technology to the people who makes up its workforce. Interns get to write about what interests them.

Assignments have included:

Advances in battery technology
Scientific breakthroughs
ESG obligations
The expansion of EDI in mining
The importance of Indigenous relations
Mental health in mining

By the end of the internship, our interns have a strong portfolio, graduate to freelancing for CIM Magazine and have leveraged their experience with us for a variety of exciting roles, from battery metals analyst to vice-president of publications.
