The internship is timed to capture the most exciting and intensive phase of Chingay's production calendar — from costume fabrication, management of make-up artistes, costumes & props management, performing groups engagement, all the way through to the live parade and post-event close-out.

Interns will be hands-on contributors working alongside experienced professionals at every stage of the journey.
