> Our Training Philosophy

> Internships are given to qualified individuals who have completed at
> least 1 year in an accredited audio engineering course** and
> demonstrate the aptitude, commitment and desire to become a
> professional audio engineer. The staff will control the pace of
> learning and the intern will gain experience. This program provides
> successful interns with the tools necessary to operate as a
> professional audio engineer at our Recording Studios. If you are
> interested in an internship, contact us at jsproductions@cfl.rr.com.
> We welcome applications worldwide but it is the intern applicants
> responsibility to provide the proper documentation (visa, work
> authorization etc). International applicants must submit to the same
> program requirements as all other interns.
