Creative mentoring

Young creatives leaving higher education or at the very start of their career are often in need of guidance. Mentoring is a great way to help people make sense of the options available to them, and to better make important decisions for their career.

Our creative mentoring program runs for 6 months, consisting of monthly check ins with a mentor. During this time mentees will have the opportunity to apply for jobs in a supported way, seek advice on their portfolio, practice for interviews and anything else they need support with. Through this process they’ll become better equipped to jump the gap to employment.

Mentoring

We’ve got some amazing mentors signed up to help the next wave of creatives navigate these turbulent times. These wonderful people have volunteered their time to act as an insider’s guide to breaking into the industry.
