I am advised that the museum offered a social media internship earlier this year as a work placement for students studying marketing, arts and business. In the case in question, the successful intern would have been working with the museum's marketing department to gain workplace and hands-on experience in digital marketing and social media communications, as well as having the opportunity of developing ICT and organisational skills. As the museum did not have any established relationships with third level colleges in areas such as digital communications and digital media, the internship was discussed and promoted through DCU, which has courses in this area and whose students might have been interested, and also via the museum's website. There was, however, insufficient interest in the placement for it to proceed.
