The first Discover! Creative Careers Week took place in November 2019. The England-wide event inspired students aged 11+ about the types of roles and career pathways available across the creative industries. Companies offered a range of practical experiences, from workshops, demonstrations, interactive tours, panel discussions and ‘The Apprentice’ style challenges.
Those that opened their doors included the National Trust, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Pinewood Studios, Northern Ballet & Phoenix Dance Theatre, Channel 4, Norwich Theatre Royal, Birmingham Museums Trust, Cockpit Arts, the Financial Times, Kudos TV, The National Archives, xsite Architecture, Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester, The Historic Dockyard Chatham, Colston Hall, Burberry and Hachette Publishing, plus many more.
In 2o21, Arts Council England supported the delivery of a digital Discover! Creative Careers Week which took place in National Careers Week and saw the development of a suite of videos and resources that provide insight into a range of roles and sectors across the creative industries.
