Applications are now open for the next cohort of The Push’s national workplace learning program – Music Industry Mentoring.
With support from The Ian Potter Foundation, this intake of the Music Industry Mentoring program will support 7 young people with opportunities to be placed and mentored in some of Australia’s biggest music companies.
This program will give you the opportunity to develop skills, confidence, and networks across a range of streams including event management, technical production, business operations and marketing and promotions.
The Music Industry Mentoring program aims to respond to ongoing sector-wide skills shortages and declining enrolments across music and arts in both secondary and higher education – creating a pipeline for skilled industry practitioners and providing both young people and workplaces with a framework that ensures workplace readiness and meaningful pathways into the contemporary music sector.
Industry partners providing mentoring opportunities for this intake of the program include APRA AMCOS, Live Nation, Mellen Events and Moshtix with opportunities across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
Successful applicants will be matched with a workplace mentor who will provide guidance and support throughout the workplace learning program. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in regular online workshops to connect with and learn from other young people throughout the program.
While this volunteer program is open to all young people aged 18 – 25 based anywhere within Australia, priority access will be given to First Nations young people, young people of colour, young people from low-income households, young people with a disability and LGBTQIA+ young people. To cover any expenses incurred, all program participants will receive a once-off honorarium paid at the commencement of the program.
