JEDI MASTERS PROGRAM

What is the Jedi Masters Program?
The Jedi Masters Program (JuMP) is a paid apprenticeship program at Lucasfilm Singapore, providing in-class training and on-floor mentorship in a real-world production environment for computer graphics artists interested in careers in visual effects, animation, and games.

Who are the instructors?
The instructors and mentors are typically Lucasfilm staff – seasoned industry veterans from both within our Singapore studio, and from our headquarters in California. We sometimes also bring in expert trainers from outside the company.

Is the Jedi Masters Program only open to Singaporeans?
No, anyone may apply to be part of the Jedi Masters Program.

I have not yet graduated from school. Am I eligible to apply to the Jedi Masters Program?
The Jedi Masters Program is designed for recent graduates as well as artists who already have some working experience. If you are currently enrolled in a university or polytechnic, you must complete your studies before applying to the Jedi Masters Program. However, Lucasfilm Singapore does have a variety of internships - offered through the Jedi Academy (details below) - which are available throughout the year and are a great opportunity for students to gain production experience while still in school.

Are apprentices guaranteed a job after completing the Jedi Masters Program?
Following the successful completion of the Jedi Masters Program, apprentices may be offered a position at Lucasfilm Singapore, depending on the hiring needs of the studio at that time.

Is this a paid apprenticeship?
Yes, the JuMP apprentices are paid a training stipend.

Do apprentices get a chance to work on real projects?
Yes! This is one of the most unique aspects of the Jedi Masters Program. Under supervision of an experienced mentor, apprentices will work on real projects alongside experienced artists.

I am a Singaporean male and I have not yet completed my National Service. Am I eligible to apply for the Jedi Masters Program?
Males with Singaporean citizenship or Permanent Residency must complete their National Service obligation before applying for the Jedi Masters Program.
