Creative Connect offers industry-specific career coaching for anyone looking to work in the creative, cultural, or digital sectors. These are delivered either online or in person, to suit what works for you. They're up to an hour long, and you can have up to six sessions, with the same coach.

As part of your sessions, you can get bespoke application support for any of the creative jobs or opportunities you want to apply for. This includes feedback on CVs, cover letters, and application forms, as well as pre-interview assessments.

Want something more specific or don't know where to start? You can request feedback on your existing work and portfolios, or get support navigating the job market by exploring new job opportunities that match your skills, learning goals, and creative career aspirations.

Whether you’re certain of what you’d like to explore next or a bit unsure of your options, the Creative Connect service is a useful resource for all young people at any stage of their career, wanting to build long-term sustainable careers in the creative, cultural, and digital technology industries.
