Traineeships

Do you have a passion for - and desire to learn - the technical skills in Live Production and Events? The Sydney Opera House offers traineeship opportunities in Lighting, Vision, Sound, Staging, Recording and Broadcast.

As a trainee you will assist an experienced technician in the installation, operation and delivery of events throughout the House, while being provided with on-the-job training, coaching and mentoring by industry specialists.

This role is the gateway to working backstage in the live entertainment industry anywhere in the world, and at the end of the traineeship you will receive a nationally recognised qualification and pathways for ongoing employment opportunities.
