Commonwealth Games Association internship offered

There's a unique opportunity from this September for a local student to spend a year working for the Commonwealth Games Association of the Isle of Man.

The CGAIOM is responsible for sending teams to the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games, and now a special internship has been created - which will allow one lucky student to work with the organisation.

The 44-week placement has been jointly funded by Isle of Man Sport and eqUIP, a Commonwealth Games initiative - which is creating internships all over the Commonwealth.

The successful applicant will join others for a week's training in Europe when they take up their position.

President of the CGAIOM Juliet Holt explains what sort of person they're looking for:
