Coventry theatre launches hunt for apprentices

The scheme, offered in conjunction with Stratford College, will enable four people to gain experience in roles ranging from the wardrobe department to the lighting department.

The new 11 month apprenticeship posts are available in the areas of theatre operations, wardrobe, lighting and community arts.

At the end of the course the apprentices will have gained a wealth of knowledge about working in a theatre and a level two creative apprenticeship from Stratford College.

General manager at the Belgrade Janthi Mills said: “By offering apprenticeships we are hoping to attract new people into the industry who may not have thought about a career in the arts, or were uncertain how to enter the profession.”

The closing date for applications is Monday July 4. For more information go online.
