Careers and skills

That means early encounters with creative role models, space to grow their skills, and opportunities that feel possible and relevant to their lives. 

We work across education, culture and industry to build clear, supported pathways into creative jobs. From primary years to post-16, we offer mentoring, paid opportunities and guidance that build confidence and open up career pathways. 

From building sites to boardrooms, kitchens to creative studios, we help young people grow creative skills, encounter diverse role models, and enjoy culture-rich lives. 

We actively encourage more young people to consider teaching artistry as a first career.

Through tailored development and real-world experience, we help young creatives and established artists to build the confidence and skills to inspire others through arts education and cultural learning.
