About
What is Discover! Month?
Think creative careers are just about acting, singing or being on TV? Think again. Behind every film, video game, song or app there are loads of different jobs, from designers and editors to marketers, accountants and strategists, and they are for everyone, not just the privileged few.
Discover! Creative Careers Month is a whole month of events, stories and opportunities in towns and cities all over the country, helping you explore real jobs in the industries you already love. Whatever your skills or interests, there are lots of ways in, such as college courses, apprenticeships and work experience, and we can help you find the one that is right for you.
