As part of its aspirations to deliver training and development opportunities for young people, the Festival offers year-round work placements and internships. These are arranged in advance and in discussion with the Festival team. Examples of ways to participate include:

• Project support: this forms the core focus of many work placements. The Festival provides opportunities to engage with a range of community projects. Recent projects include assisting with the administration of the Schools' Poetry Competition, helping to design a programme of performance events for the Carnival Parade and supporting the delivery of the Festival Fringe.
• Marketing: from time to time there are opportunities to assist the Marketing Department.  Recent projects have included developing publicity material, assisting with the administration of the 'Big Eat Out' and 'Big Sleepover' schemes for local restaurants and hotels and supporting the on-going development of the Festival's database and archives.
• General administration: more general opportunities are available to provide experience of working in an arts organisation and/or an office environment.
