About this role
Innovision Media is a Sligo-based visual communications company working on planning, infrastructure and environmental projects. We use photography, maps, graphics, 3D imagery and interactive exhibitions to help people understand proposed developments. This six-month WPEP placement offers supervised experience in preparing and presenting visual information for project teams and public audiences.

Working alongside experienced staff, the participant will undertake guided exercises and suitable project activities. These may include organising photographs and reference material; preparing presentation graphics and exhibition content; checking text, images and links against an agreed brief; and helping test online exhibitions and VR presentations from a visitor’s point of view.
