Bradford Live
Creative Careers Festival
A careers festival for young people aged 16-25 in the heart of Bradford.
Created by young people for young people - this was an opportunity to gain insight, inspiration and free access to the cultural sector.
The Creative Careers Festival was for young people interested in working in the creative industry. We brought together industry professionals from across the nation who offered a range of activities to help young people map out a potential career in the creative arts sector.
Attendees had the opportunity to chat to employers about creative careers across different organisations as well as learn about the educational offer and creative courses available in the North.
The event included
- Panel discussions with Industry Professionals
- Speed mentoring sessions, a chance to get 1-1 advice from those who work in the industry
- Live music, spoken word and comedy by local artists
- Exhibitors – employers and training providers gave an insight into the world of work and support
- Specialist workshops in creative writing, self tapes, art & design, and how to use digital tools and social media to get noticed
An event like this is essential in spreading the awareness of what opportunities and career paths are out there for young people who are interested in the industry.”
