Last month, the Careers and Employability Service (CES) hosted an event as part of the Creative Industries Employability Series with the School of Arts and Architecture (SAA) on guidance around finding work experience. The session was designed to support students in getting practical advice and starting to plan their steps towards a career in the creative industries.
The session covered information on building opportunities, short insight days, part-time creative projects, summer internships and a Year In Industry. The session also explored how to decide which option best fits the stage of your career journey, whether you are just beginning to explore the sector or looking to deepen your professional experience. This successful session provided a clearer understanding of pathways available into creative work and practical tips.
Don’t forget, if you missed out and would like some career guidance and support, you can always reach out to the Careers and Employability team to book an appointment. You can also take advantage of all the workshops, events and career tools and resources the team have on offer. To find out more about click here.
