Do you have a love for wine but don’t know where to start when looking for jobs in the industry? Are you from an under-represented community? If your answer to both questions was ‘yes’, then read on as the Decanter 360 Academy Trainee Programme is for you.

What is the Decanter 360 Academy?

Now in its second year, the programme was set up to give people from under-represented communities a chance to flourish in what can otherwise feel like an industry that is harder to take a step into. Recognising the need for change, the Decanter 360 Academy is committed to increasing and promoting diversity and inclusivity within the wine sector by providing opportunities for all under-represented communities.

Through the programme one chosen candidate will receive comprehensive experience and training across various departments within Decanter including sales, events & awards operations, editorial and marketing.
