Albany Museum has recently appointed four interns to work in its Scarce Skills Internship Programme for  this year.

The programme, which runs for 12 months, began on 1 April and is funded by the provincial Department of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture.

One the new interns, Amy van Wezel (who obtained aBA degree, Rhodes University in 2008) has been assigned to the History section under the curator of the History Museum, Fleur-Way Jones, while Natasha Higgit (BA Hons, University of Pretoria) will work with Dr Johan Binneman in Archeology.

Zibele Nyembezi (BSc degree, Rhodes University, 2009) is to intern in the Ichthyology section with Dr Jim Cambray.

Finally, Robyn Tourle (Msc degree, Rhodes University)will work  with Drs Fred and Sarah Gess in the Entomology Department of the museum. Tourle, Nyembezi and Wezel are all graduates of Rhodes University.

An intern who was invited to work in the Palaeontology Department under Dr Billy de Klerk declined, leaving the post vacant for any potential interns interested in pursuing a career in palaeontology.

Interns will not only have access to needed resources, but will also have adequate supervision as they gain experience in their chosen fields.

Bongani Mgijima, Manager of Albany Museum, said, “I hope that all the interns will make the best of the opportunity given to them, and learn as much as possible. This programme will ensure that Albany Museum continues to exist for another 155 years.”
