“Empowering The Next Generation Of Game Audio Creators”

At the Game Audio Institute (GAI), we believe collaboration drives innovation. Our Partner Program brings together educators, students, and industry collaborators to create a vibrant ecosystem for learning, professional development, and real-world experience in game audio. Associates enrolled in the GAI Professional Development Program gain access to exclusive internship and Co-Lab opportunities designed to provide practical experience in the game audio industry and beyond.

FOR ASSOCIATES: PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Associates enrolled in the GAI Professional Development Program gain access to exclusive career-building opportunities through our network of industry partners.

INTERNSHIPS

GAI maintains relationships with companies actively seeking talented game audio professionals. Our internship partners provide hands-on placements where Associates work on real projects, collaborate with industry teams, and build professional portfolios. These positions are available to qualified Associates who demonstrate readiness through program curriculum completion and mentorship assessments.

Current internship opportunities are available on request. Additional positions become available throughout the year – contact your Mentor to learn about upcoming openings and discuss which opportunities align with your career goals.

CO-LABS

Co-Lab partnerships are integrated directly into specific program Courses, offering structured collaborative projects with industry partners. These aren’t traditional internships – they’re active development and co-working opportunities where Associates contribute to ongoing projects in a mentorship-supported environment. Co-Labs provide practical experience while building professional networks in real production settings.

Co-Lab opportunities are assigned as part of your coursework. Your mentor can provide details about which courses include Co-Lab components and help you prepare for these collaborative experiences.

FOR SCHOOLS: CURRICULUM INTEGRATION

We partner with teachers, administrators, and faculty to integrate the GAI methodology directly into educational programs. Our learning materials and support systems are designed for flexibility, allowing you to tailor instruction to your students’ experience levels and institutional goals.

What We Provide

  • Classroom-Proven Materials – Complete curriculum resources tested in diverse educational settings
  • Educator Training – Professional development for teachers and program administrators
  • Flexible Implementation – Single-course modules or comprehensive program frameworks
  • Ongoing Support – 24-hour program guidance for onboarding, integration, and curriculum questions

Whether you’re introducing game audio as a specialized elective or building a complete program track, GAI provides the infrastructure to deliver professional-level education without developing curriculum from scratch.
