Creative Career Insights are interactive encounters designed to offer affordable careers related learning directly to primary and secondary schools, and colleges.
Our Creative Career Insights support students to develop skills and increase their understanding of the practical application of literacy, numeracy and creativity in careers.
Students gain an insight into careers within the creative and digital industries.

increase awareness of the different types of jobs within the creative industries
-
to highlight the use of literacy, numeracy and creativity within the world of work
