YOUNG CORE CREATIVES
Targeted at young people aged 18-25, Young Core Creatives is a free, transformative programme, which intends to bridge the gap for emerging professionals to embed themselves into the creative industry.
​
The programme begins with a launch event on 1st March, with an introduction to The Core Creatives space. This will be an action packed day with networking activities, key workshops and training, and an opportunity to be matched with one of our programme mentors.
​
We are working with 5 creative professionals, specialising in a variety of different fields, who will be matched with our young core creatives in the mentorship phase of the programme. Each young person will have 3 mentoring sessions with their assigned mentor, who will support them to integrate into not only the Core Creatives network, but the creative industry as a whole, navigating topics like finding work, logistics of being a freelancer, signposting to opportunities, and overcoming challenges unique to your creative journey.​
​
2 additional workshops will also be developed based on the cohort of young people on the programme. For example this might include (but is not limited to) podcasting, personal branding, exploring emerging technologies such as AI, VR & AR etc.
​
Applications to take part have now closed.
