Apprenticeship Program

Make your passion your profession.

As a film, design, audio, or music promotion apprentice, you’ll gain invaluable skills and experience that will set you on the path to your dream career. Get hands-on experience, strengthen your skills, and build a portfolio of professional and personal projects. From graphic designer to concert promoter, animator to video editor, videographer to audio engineer, or sound designer, the skills you’ll learn are highly transferable and can be used to pursue higher education and future career paths. 

Spy Hop apprentices earn a stipend for their work; completion of assigned projects is required to receive the $200 stipend. 

About the Apprenticeship Program: 

  • Participation is free! 
  • The Apprenticeship Program is four months long
  • The Apprenticeship Program is offered three times per year: during the fall, spring, and summer. Applications open before the start of each apprenticeship season.
  • Each apprenticeship accepts 10 to 12 students.
  • The Apprenticeship Program is fast-paced — this program is recommended for intermediate and advanced students.
  • Prior participation in a Spy Hop class is recommended, but not required.
  • Apprenticeship students are required to attend class twice a week (2-hour classes) and often require additional out-of-class time to complete projects.
  • The Apprenticeship program mimics the expectations of a client/contractor relationship. Like a job, an interview is required being accepted into the program.
  • Apprenticeship students are expected to complete all projects in order to earn a stipend.

Tips on the Application Process:

  1. Explore the Apprenticeship class options, noting recommended ages, the schedule, and the level of commitment required. 
  2. Complete the registration form a few weeks prior to the start of class.
  3. Sign up for an interview with the Spy Hop artist mentor. The artist mentor will confirm your enrollment after the interview process.
