Please Note: Our next round of work experience placements will take place from September 2025 to June 2026.

The Octagon is committed to supporting young people in their personal development and on their first steps into the world of work. Our work experience programme provides 1-week placements where students will be based at the Octagon and provided a high-quality insight into a range of careers that are available in theatre.

Working with our Creative Engagement team during your week, you will:

• have opportunities to shadow staff across our departments including Marketing, Box Office and Production;
• attend our participation groups;
• watch a performance (subject to dates and availability).
