ABOUT DISCOVER! CREATIVE CAREERS WEEK

Discover! Creative Careers is an initiative by the UK creative industries to make it easier for young people to find careers in the creative industries. It was originally funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Its 2020/21 funding comes from Arts Council England.

While Covid-19 has affected many parts of the creative industries, it remains one of the backbones of the UK‘s economy and we are confident that this resilient sector will grow back both stronger and fairer. Discover! Creative Careers is committed to being part of that change by informing and inspiring young people from all backgrounds about the
creative career opportunities available.

Discover! Creative Careers is being delivered by Creative & Cultural Skills and ScreenSkills, alongside delivery partners Creative Industries Federation and The Careers and Enterprise Company.
