Apprenticeship Program

Make your passion your profession.

Become a Spy Hop apprentice to get the skills you need to get the job you want! By becoming a film, design, audio, or music promotion apprentice, you can work on client and personal projects to strengthen your skills and build your portfolio. Jobs such as social media content producer, game designer, concert/music producer, graphic designer, video content producer, audio engineer, or sound designer are all career paths available to you to pursue through higher education or direct apprenticeship to job pipelines. 

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! 
• Capacity: 10 to 12 students per apprenticeship.
• The Apprenticeship Program is offered three times per year: fall, spring, and summer, with enrollment opening during the season prior to the start of each apprenticeship session.
