You can apply for an unpaid student internship or work trial in the following roles:

The Audio Technician’s duties include setting up, connecting, and dismantling sound systems, front-of-house and monitor mixing, audio monitoring for live streams, and the maintenance and servicing of audio equipment.

Production Assistant
The Production Assistant’s duties include event setup and teardown, customer service, and venue-related tasks during events. Working alongside a Producer, you will also have the opportunity to participate in various production and communications tasks. The internship will be tailored to the participant’s skills and educational background.

In all teams, you will have the opportunity to develop not only customer service skills but also the ability to plan and schedule your own tasks. The Tiivistämö staff are part of the City of Helsinki Youth Services Event Unit, which supports productions created by young people and organizes events for young audiences at Tiivistämö and throughout Helsinki. During the internship, you will also work with young people and youth groups.

The internship includes evening and weekend shifts. We hope applicants have a genuine enthusiasm for the event industry and event technology. As a Youth Services venue, we particularly encourage applications from people aged 18–29.
Interviews will be held during November. Internship placements can last from 2 to 6 months. The start date is January 2027 or as agreed.
