Walsall – How to Launch Your Own Creative Career
We’re delighted to be running another creative producing programme this June, after the success of our past ‘Breaking In‘ sessions.
This three‑day programme will introduce you to the wide range of careers within the creative sector. We’ll explore what a creative job could look like for you, identify your ideas and ambitions, and learn how to bring those ambitions to life. You will also discover how the creative skills you already use can transfer into many other areas of life and work.
Open to anyone aged 14 and over, the course will be tailored to your abilities, prior knowledge, and interests. Whether you’re drawn to design, media, writing, performance, or production, we’ll support you to kickstart your dream career or uncover what it could be.
During the placement, you will work alongside other young people and have the chance to meet and quiz industry professionals. RicNic will guide you through a series of sessions designed to develop your career aspirations and give you insight into the skills needed in the creative industries, exploring topics such as creative pathways, budgeting, event planning, marketing, and fundraising.
By the end of the week, you will create your own project and pitch it to a panel.
Sessions take place 10am-2pm (with lunch break) at The Table, Lower Hall Lane, Walsall, WS1 1RR
