Want to learn more about securing a career in the creative industries? Ever wondered how to get your foot in the door?

To celebrate International Youth Day, Bradford 2025 is opening its doors for a Speed Mentoring evening with the people who make our events happen – exclusively for Youth Pass members.

Find out what it’s like working at Bradford 2025, how employees got their roles and what top tips and guidance they’ve got to share, in a relaxed setting.

Expect to meet a wide range of creative professionals across marketing, production and more. Learn about how different professionals got to where they are today, and how you can build a creative career for yourself.

You’ll have 5 minutes with each mentor to pick their brains in a ‘speed dating’ format. We’ll provide prompt cards with juicy questions and light refreshments. All you need to bring is yourself to take the first step for your creative career.
