Kongsberg Jazz Festival's internship program 2025 

Are you curious about how big concerts and festivals are made? Now you have the opportunity to apply for our internship program where you can learn more about this! The program is run by Kongsberg Jazzfestival, and consists of both training and practice. This can be a stepping stone into the cultural industry! 
 
You will learn about
– stage production
– artist booking
– marketing
– security
– content production (SoMe)
and all the other things that make a big event work! 
 
You can participate in a wide range of the festival's work areas, such as arena production, stage work, backstage, bar, catering, transportation, security and sales work. 
 
Most of the work will involve the practical part of the festival's production. That way, as an intern, you get a unique opportunity to work behind the scenes, and gain knowledge of what is required to organize a festival. 
 
You will work together with the festival staff, crew and volunteers, both before, during and after the festival. In addition to some meetings at Steinhuset (our office in Kongsberg), where work with the festival administration and planning of the festival is in focus.
