Join the Music Careers Expo Events Team in QLD, SA, VIC and NSW
The Push is looking for young people aged 15 – 17 years interested in a career in music from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney to lead the delivery of our Music Careers Expo events.
Participants of the Music Careers Expo Events Team will take part in an eight-week learning program, receiving hands-on experience, developing skills, and gaining valuable connections within the Australian music industry.
As part of the team, you’ll learn how to put on an expo style event across multiple states, gaining experience in event management, stage management, promotions and marketing, video production, photography, artist liaison and bookings – as well as join the huge Push music community across the country.
Music Careers Expo Events Team meetings will be held weekly for 5 weeks and mostly online in the lead up to the in-person events.
