Creative Workforce for the Future
A pilot project creating and fostering inclusive work environments to support our brightest and best young creative talent in the cultural and creative industries.
We know that the most innovative work happens in teams that are inclusive to talented people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Creative Workforce for the Future's mission was to make the creative industries as representative as the society in which we live.
We aimed to do this by creating and fostering inclusive work environments to support our brightest and best young creative talent in the cultural and creative industries.
We ran a 48 week placement programme for thirteen 18 – 30 year old creative professionals from specific backgrounds currently not well represented in the creative sector.
Based in the West of England, Creative Workforce for the Future offered a flexible and bespoke programme of professional development for companies and paid placements for young people.
"The Creative workforce for the Future programme has been a great way to re-focus and structure our recruitment with the goal of building a more robust, open and inclusive process."
