Description:

Internship Scotland offers a unique internship program for college students to learn about and work with a production company at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival. During July, interns participate in a four-week course that prepares them to carry out the myriad of activities associated with producing, promoting and managing an Edinburgh Festival show. The programme is taught by professionals from the top-ten Festival Production and media companies.

In August, interns play a key role in facilitating the smooth running of their production during the Festival. Roles will include; reading, analysing and improving scripts; reporting on and writing reviews; observing rehearsals; participating in educational programmes and networking events; working with the press to market shows; and participating in event-monitoring and control and stage crew.

Internship Scotland is a member of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and the respected Federation of Small Businesses based in London and Edinburgh. We have strong links with the universities in Edinburgh.
