Feb. 17, 2026: Our paid apprenticeship program is on hold until further notice in light of the ongoing funding crisis in the state of Florida.

We are still open to working with early-career Tampa Bay-based artists who are interested in unpaid shadowing or volunteer-based learning opportunities with the company. While we cannot guarantee it, we will do all we can to transition shadows/volunteers into paid entry-level show contracts when we are able.

Paid Apprenticeships

Paid apprenticeships are available for early-career theater workers interested in lighting, stagecraft, costumes, stage management, or producing and community engagement. Apprenticeships are hourly paid positions that also receive on-the-job training. These are part-time, seasonal opportunities for artists who reside in the Tampa Bay region. 

We have immediate openings for technical apprentices.

Educational Internships

Educational internships are offered year-round for high school and college students. Jobsite has worked with UF, USF, UCF, HCC, Patel Conservatory, and several local high schools to help students earn credit while working in design areas, stage management, and arts administration.

Former interns have had the opportunity with us to:

• perform on stage or serve as an understudy;
• build sets and work on lights;
• serve as scene painter;
• act as an assistant stage manager;
• help with marketing and public relations campaigns;
• assist the Artistic Director and have exposure to how a small professional theater company manages day to day operations;
• assist in the retention and acquisition of season ticket holders; and
• work on fundraising efforts such as the company’s annual campaign.

Some interns have moved on to paid work with us after completion of their program. Our first intern, Katrina Stevenson, now serves as our Costume Designer in residence as well as on our Artistic Associates.

Internships are generally 16 weeks in length and for academic credit, but Jobsite will consider an eight-week program for those not seeking graded credit for their work. It is not necessary to be affiliated with an educational program to be considered for an internship.
