WILL HONG KONG’S NEXT BIG STORY BE YOURS?

Take command of your journalism career: Apply to be a South China Morning Post Cadet.

For an entire year, Cadets are intensely trained to be the newsroom leaders of tomorrow. They have months-long reporting rotations in key departments, including the Hong Kong, China, Business, and Culture Desks.

Who? The South China Morning Postis looking for a few extraordinarily talented and ambitious young journalists for its next class of Cadets. Excellent English, strong writing skills, and a curious mind are essential. Cantonese, Putonghua, and multi-media skills are very beneficial. Applicants should hold university or graduate degrees.

What? Cadets earn professional salaries and are closely mentored during training designed to fast-track their development. Upon successful completion of their programme, Cadets graduate into permanent reporting jobs with the South China Morning Post.

When? Before February 20 applicants should send a cover letter detailing their interest in becoming an SCMP Cadet, their language skills, and their journalism experience, if any.
