The initiative, led by the BPI, Capital FM and UK Youth in conjunction with the Big Lottery Fund, is offering support of up to 50 percent of total wage costs of intern placements across the music industry.
All internships should last between three and 12 months and can be in any area of the business, from digital marketing, communications and A&R to human resources, social media and finance.
Employers will be supported throughout the marketing and recruitment process and will be offered guidance on best practice for internships.
However, funding is limited and each company must complete an application setting out the role they would like to offer and the mentoring support they can provide to the successful candidate.
Interested organisations can download the Guidance Notes and Application Form from The Big Music Project website available now at www.thebigmusicproject.co.uk/internshipprogramme
The deadline for applications is 6 October 2014.
BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor said: ’Talented interns provide an injection of new blood, bright ideas and fresh thinking into growing businesses. Through The Big Music Project, we are giving a helping hand to music companies across the UK to fulfil their potential and to invest in the future of our industry.’
The year long project – supported by Plan B, Will Kennard from Chase & Status, Foxes, Olly Murs and MNEK - will aim to reach more than 4.5 million young people aged 14 to 24 across the UK, helping them to build confidence and develop transferable skills through training and career opportunities to improve their future prospects in the music industry and other employment.
