"My internship at the Adelaide Festival Business Development Team has shown me how many teams of professionals develop a festival together. I had the chance to do everything from event management to sponsorship, seating and logistics. Meeting many interesting people in the industry, gaining new insights and applying different skills to situations behind the scenes as well as front of house made my internship a great experience."

"I undertook an internship with RCC on the Adelaide Uni campus as a marketing intern, and I focussed on ticket sales, social media and advertising. This entailed everything from writing the weekly 'whats on' emails to posting Instagram stories and helping out TV camera crews. My internship was not only fun, but has also opened up many doors for the future with employable skills and connections within the business."
