BA English and Creative Writing 3rd year student Learning and Engagement - Trainee Producer “My internship has been so enjoyable and fulfilling. I contributed lots of ideas and was given permission to take the lead on them, this allowed me to develop skills such as project management, creativity, and teamwork. Seeing the projects to completion and sharing them on social media made me proud of all I achieved. The range of responsibilities I took on has really enhanced my CV and I have lots to talk about in future interviews. I've also built up a network of connections who work in the arts industry and learnt from their rich experiences.” Summer Internships 2021 Alarum Productions, Arts Production Assistant (20 days) BE FESTIVAL CIC, Assistant Festival Producer (20 days) Bertz Associates Ltd, Community Heritage Researcher (20 days) Big Bear Music, Music Archive Assistant (20 days) Birmingham Hippodrome, Learning and Participation Intern (20 days) Birmingham Music Archive C.I.C., Content and Community Engagement Intern (20 days) Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Summer School Associate (20 days) Bristol Gifted and Talented, Remote Digital Marketing Internship (10 days) Creative Black Country, Production Assistant (20 days) Fierce Festival, Fierce Project Assistant (20 days) For/With/By Festival of European Youth Theatre (Birmingham Rep), Assistant Producer (10 days) Grand Union, Curatorial Assistant (20 days) K'antu Ensemble, Arts Team Intern (Music, Marketing And Education Coordination) (10 days) Lapworth Museum of Geology, Retail Range Designer (20 days) Lichfield Festival, Lichfield Festival Management Intern (10 days) Little Earthquake, Production Assistant - The Stolen Year (20 days) Misfits Music Foundation, Projects and Music Assistant (20 days) Ort Gallery, Assistant Curator (20 days) Roundhouse Birmingham, Operations Assistant (20 days) Sampad South Asian Arts, City of Empire to City of Diversity: Intern (20 days) Simmer Down Arts, Marketing Intern (20 days) The Book Shelf, Publishing Assistant (20 days) Town Hall Symphony Hall, Marketing Assistant (20 days) Winterbourne House and Garden, Archival Cataloguer - University Herbarium (20 days) Wolverhampton Arts and Culture, Marketing Assistant (10 days) Writing West Midlands, Marketing And PR Intern (20 days) Application Support Careers Network offers a range of support to help you write your internship application and prepare for an interview.
