PLACEMENTSYou’ll spend the first six months in

one of our 39 UK venues learning

how a typical commercial theatre

operates. Following this you will build

your working knowledge of a wide

range of centralised departments

to develop an understanding of the

bigger picture. You’ll expand your

experience of the theatre industry

and find out what makes ATG a unique

and exciting company to work for.

In the second year, you will have the

chance to specialise, enabling you

to identify a suitable career path

within ATG.

MENTORSHIPA senior mentor will guide you through

the Graduate Scheme and advise you on

your choices and learning experiences.

You’ll learn about their role and career

history, and they will offer support for your

next steps at the end of the two years.

TRAININGYour path through the Graduate Scheme

will be unique, but you will join other

Graduates and colleagues to complete

relevant training, to underpin your

workplace learning.

career progress, and it’s expected that

job vacancies will arise at ATG which

will interest you.

HOW MUCH WOULD I BE PAID?Graduates will be paid a competitive

starting salary, with a pay rise in the

second year depending on performance.
