North East

Not your region?

What does it all mean?

Confused about the difference between an internship and a sandwich placement. Visit the work experience glossary

Clever thinking

Other ways of getting work experience include:

Joining a youth theatre
Doing a Creative Apprenticeship
Volunteering. Check out vinspired
Work shadowing (ie following a theatre professional around for a day or two, obviously with their permission. Otherwise, it’s simply stalking)
Studying for The Diploma in Creative & Media
Taking a casual job in a local theatre eg stage hand, usher, bar work
Working somewhere other than a theatre where you can learn similar skills eg a cinema, a music venue, at an outdoor event, a conference or exhibition etc
Doing an Arts Award
