Apprenticeship

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. 

Apprentices can earn a stipend for their work; completion of assigned projects is required to receive the $200 stipend.
