18th November
Creative Careers Week Launch
This week the ABTT will be taking part in promoting the #DiscoverCreativeCareers campaign, part of the Creative Careers Programme.
Careers opportunities in the creative industries are increasing daily with employment in the sector growing three times faster than the rest of the UK economy. This growth shows no signs of slowing down, yet many young people and those that support their career choices aren’t aware of the breadth of roles and vast areas of work available – we want to change that.
Taking place across England from 18th – 22nd November, Discover! Creative Careers Week will see over 500 employers from across the creative industries opening their doors to thousands of young people to inspire and inform the next generation of workers. – many of which are ABTT Affiliate Organisations or Industry Supporters!
During the week, young people will get go back stage at the National Theatre, explore individual career paths by attending the careers with Crewe Lyceum Theatre, get a taste of the world of Theatre by exploring all the different roles that are available in the theatre industry with Get into Theatre.
