Fostering the next generation of arts leaders
Wolf Trap Foundation internships and apprenticeships give budding professionals a competitive edge—whether they seek jobs in the arts or any other field.
Employers are looking for college graduates who can hit the ground running—those who don’t need training in basic workplace skills, like inter-office communications and coordinating multiple projects.
Wolf Trap Foundation internships and apprenticeships provide these fundamental skills, as well as specialized training in specific disciplines—from technical theatre and arts management to fundraising, accounting, and special events.
Interns and apprentices get a nuanced view of a field that is rapidly changing and what it takes to evolve and innovate. This experience helps interns and apprentices build leadership skills that can be applied to the performing arts or any line of work they choose to pursue.
Wolf Trap Foundation is committed to providing students from all backgrounds, abilities, and identities access to professional learning opportunities that also consider and support the students’ individual skill development. Interns and apprentices benefit from panels, workshops, field trips, and networking experiences that reflect the specific needs of participants. The program’s goal is to set up students for career success by fostering a workplace environment of shared resources, conversations, and connections that highlight the importance of hearing and learning from multiple perspectives.
