We are seeking applicants 18 years and older who have never worked in music before but demonstrate immense passion for music and ability to add great value to the industry. The program is open to all cultural and educational backgrounds, and all ages and locations. Applications have closed for the summer 2021 term, thank you for applying!

WIM Equity Initiative
Visibility is key to increasing the participation of women in the music industry, particularly at the top where women are far outnumbered. Our 50/50 campaign is centered around the idea that if you can see it, you can achieve it. WIM will continue to partner with music industry conferences to work towards equal representation by matching each conference with women to fill their panelist and keynote spots. In addition, WIM continues to create keynote opportunities for women in the industry through our panels and seminars, our new webinar series, and ongoing interviews highlighting women in music with an eye on intentional diversity and inclusion.
Support: Sexual Harassment + Assault
Building upon WIM's two-part support series released in 2018, we will continue to address the topic of sexual harassment and assault through education and empowerment initiatives. For more information on the two-part series, see the first installment, which provides practical resources, tips, and steps to take action now if you are experiencing or witnessing sexual harassment or assault, and for those creating intra-office programming around it. The second installment of the series addresses relevant mental-health issues surrounding harassment and assault. WIM is committed to supporting safe workplaces for women in the industry, and beyond.
