Trainee Programme
The Trainee Programme was born in 2023, out of a desire to retain the exceptional talent and insight of young people within our Wired4Music community, and to bridge the gap for alumni aged 24-30, enabling them to return and contribute to our work and programmes as emerging practitioners in the music industry.
Trainees work closely with the Sound Connections team over a 12‑month period, gaining paid, hands-on experience while developing their own professional pathway.
The programme offers:
- Paid work, training and skills development training in project management, facilitation, research and evaluation, marketing and communications, finances and fundraising
- Practical, real-world experience co‑producing our youth voice training and live events such as Wired Up and our annual Inclusive Practice in Action conference, as well as designing, researching and delivering a self‑led project
- Mentoring and tailored support from a dedicated member of the Sound Connections team and ongoing support shaped around individual ambitions and next steps
Progression beyond the programme:
Following a six-month training period, Trainees spend a further six months supporting Sound Connections’ work as paid freelancers, joining our wider pool of Associates and continuing to build practical experience in the sector
