National Theatre

Since 2011 we have hosted over 40 apprentices at the National Theatre. Their roles have been in many different areas of the organisation and have allowed people to join the industry with confidence, knowledge, and valuable experience.

Apprenticeships involve:

• Paid work, with college or externally led learning.
• A minimum of 12 months full-time contract.
• Gaining experience working in your chosen industry.
• Our apprentices are often people who say they would not have got into the industry via college or university. The level of our apprenticeships reflects this, as they are mostly suitable for those with GCSEs or A Levels, rather than degrees.

We do not look for someone to fill each apprenticeship each year, and the apprenticeship scheme responds to the changing needs of our organisation, so this page is the best place to find out what is coming up.
