College Credit & Career Path

This is a 3-month internship and training program designed as a direct-to-hire pipeline into Rise Up Music Group.

The program is structured to provide hands-on experience, real-world projects, and internal training for individuals looking to break into the music industry, whether you are a college student or an entry-level candidate without prior experience.

This is a non-paid internship focused on education, skill development, and real execution within an active company environment. Interns will work on real campaigns, real artists, and real business operations—not simulations or classroom-style assignments.

Participants may be eligible to receive college credit depending on their school’s requirements, but enrollment in a college program is not required.

Top-performing interns who successfully complete the program and demonstrate strong performance may be offered direct-to-hire paid positions within the company.

The advertised pay rate reflects the starting salary for candidates who transition into a full-time role after completing the internship with a high performance rating.

• Starting salary for hired candidates: $36,000 annually

This program is built for individuals who are serious about gaining experience, proving their value, and earning an opportunity to join the team long-term.

Who We’re Looking For

• Individuals who are serious about earning a long-term opportunity, not just completing an internship
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities
• Strong communicators who can operate professionally across teams
• Self-driven individuals who take initiative and don’t wait for direction
• People who are comfortable being held to performance standards and accountability
• Motivated to learn, execute, and contribute to real business operations
• Interested in building a career in business, operations, or the music industry

Who This Is NOT For

• Individuals primarily seeking immediate paid employment rather than a pipeline-based opportunity
• Those not interested in a non-paid internship focused on training, development, and real execution
• People who need constant direction instead of taking initiative and ownership
• Individuals who struggle with consistency, follow-through, or meeting deadlines
• Anyone looking for a passive, low-effort experience rather than a hands-on role with real responsibility
• Those who are not comfortable being evaluated on performance for a direct-to-hire opportunity
