On Wednesday 2nd November 2022, Kim Byford, Talent Accelerator from the De La Warr, visited the College to host a discussion and presentation to Creative Arts students about careers in the creative industries in East Sussex. The talk was followed by a series of focus group activities. Talent Accelerator is a new project funded by and delivered in partnership with Artswork focused on engaging young people in creative, cultural, and digital careers in an inclusive way.
The aim of the programme is to create a unified infrastructure between industry and education and provide young people with vital experience working alongside creative people in vibrant and dynamic environments. This was an excellent opportunity for our students to develop their understanding of the different types of companies and organisations within the creative, cultural and digital sectors and enhance their knowledge of the skills demanded by roles within creative industries.
