Open to all career stages, with an expanded range of mentorships in 2021
Mentees will paired with a mentor to receive professional advice and guidance
Applications are now open for our Women in Music Mentorships program. We have expanded the scope of mentoring opportunities, and invite music creators from a range of genres, backgrounds and career stages to apply.
Whether you are starting out, returning to the industry or looking for advice on moving to the next level, you will be seriously considered for the program.
You can apply for one of the following mentorships; there are two positions per mentorship unless otherwise noted.
APRA AMCOS members who identify as women, non-binary or gender non-conforming music creators, and who feel they would benefit from a program designed for women in music. Previous participants include Annie Hamilton, Mookhi, Bri Clark, Demi Louise and more.
In 2017, we released research that identified the pathways and barriers for women working in music. This has led to our commitment to provide support to women through the development of programs to effect immediate and sustainable gender participation and equitable financial success for our female songwriter and composer members. The mentorship program is a key component of our commitment.
Each mentorship is offered for a three month period and mentees will receive some financial support over that time
For all mentorships, the mentee is paired with an established music creator or manager in the industry. The mentor will provide guidance and practical advice on projects the mentee already has underway.
