ATG are looking for two motivated, ambitious and talented individuals to take part in an inspiring two-year programme, fast-tracking their career as future leaders of the theatre industry.
With 38 theatres in the UK, ATG offers a unique insight into commercial theatre management and venue operations. Trainees will develop a thorough understanding of the UK theatre industry through challenging placements in ATG’s renowned presenting theatres as well as its offices in London and Woking.
Through this scheme ATG seeks to nurture exceptional leaders, equipping them to take up future managerial positions in the company. The first year of the programme includes placements in regional and London venues and our Head Offices to develop a broad understanding of our business, followed by two six-month placements in the second year during which trainees take responsibility for crucial projects. You can find some examples of the work undertaken by previous trainees below.
Trainees take part in our internal leadership development programme, Rising Stars; this programme aims to grow a new generation of talented leaders for the business and trainees will work alongside other exceptional individuals identified from within the company.
Trainees also complete a wide variety of short training courses and have a coaching relationship with a senior member of ATG staff. Reflection is a key aspect of the scheme and trainees are pushed to take charge of their own development.
On completing the scheme, the intention is that trainees have an excellent understanding of the company’s current operation and potential, and are both skilled managers and inspiring leaders. This is a rare opportunity for those determined to forge a career in theatre management and make a real impact on ATG’s UK business.
