The Industry Internship Programme is an initiative to support the next generation of music industry professionals, and help emerging music professionals and recent tertiary graduates gain valuable industry experience to kick-start their careers.
Running since 2018, the Programme has successfully placed Interns into a wide range of industry roles each year – including working in recording studios, events management, live music venues, PR and publishing companies, and plenty more. Interns are mentored by their Host Organisation and develop skills, knowledge and industry networks during their placement – while Host Organisations benefit from having a fresh perspective as well as knowing they are lifting up the next generation of music industry professionals. All internships are paid positions at the NZ Living Wage rate.
