Our Programme Lead Mary Rose had the following statement to make regarding the announcement that the Chancellor’s Budget underscored just how important the creative sectors are and a commitment to extending funding for the Discover! Creative Careers Programme.
“Discover Creative Careers is thrilled that the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget has prioritised funding for an expansion of the Discover Creative Careers programme. Over the past year, the programme has supported more than 25,000 young people from diverse backgrounds across England with advice, information and guidance on creative industry careers and connected them with employers to break down barriers to employment opportunities. With this new funding commitment, Discover! Creative Careers looks forward to working with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to enhance its outreach, develop new resources and create more opportunities for young people to explore and pursue careers in the creative sector.”
