Creative Apprenticeships Seminar

How easy is it to take on an apprentice? What are the benefits? What does it involve? How much does it cost? How can we develop and build employment opportunities in the creative and cultural sector in the current economic climate? How can we create non-graduate routes into employment in the sector? How can we support future generations to develop the skills to sustain lifelong careers?

Come along to The Sage Gateshead on Thursday 9th February and find out more:

• How an apprenticeship could work for you / your organisation.
• How Creative Apprentices will be a key part of The Sage Gateshead’s role as the Bridge organisation for the North East.
• How current opportunities for additional support could make taking on an apprentice even easier for creative and cultural SMEs.
• How you can get the skills you need to apply for a Creative Apprenticeship.

17.00: Hear about the Creative Apprenticeships experience from a panel of apprentices past and present, employers, and industry experts including a representative from the National Skills Academy.

18.00: Informal buffet and networking opportunity – get your questions answered and find out what to do next
