PLACEMENT INFORMATION

Bendigo Venues and Events

At BV&E we are passionate about supporting young people to get involved and learn more about the Arts Industry. We offer around 4 - 5 work experience places to students from the Greater Bendigo region.

 

This activity does not focus on developing acting, stage craft or performing arts skills. The opportunities we offer here at BV&E relate specifically to Event Management and Technical Theatre operations. While we provide a general overview of the arts industry, the experience is very much behind-the-scenes and hands-on. 

 

These places are offered to students from as many different schools as possible. Please note, we have very high demand for our limited work experience places. We look at each of the students applications and make a decision on a case by case basis, however this decision is also based on our ability to resource, supervise and conduct the placement at a particular time.
