Internship

Amelie Snyers

”During my internship at Ahh…Arts Igniting Minds, I had to carry out a very wide range of tasks. Assisting with the general administration and the communication of the company, I have also been in charge of the creation of flyers for Future Menagerie at the Future Gallery and an assistant stage manager for Carlos Acosta Premieres at the London Coliseum.”

”This internship was a fantastic experience, which enabled me to gain experience and knowledge in office administration, press relations, production and stage management.
It also helped me find a job very quickly, I am now working as an administrative and communications assistant at Village Underground in Shoreditch.”

At certain times of year we invite bright, enthusiastic skilled intern specialists to work with us on a variety of projects.

We encourage highly skilled and focussed people to apply.

We work at many levels offering incomparable experience to the right candidate, even though we are a small organisation with few recourses.
