Creative Opportunities

A study of work-related learning opportunities in the creative industries for young people aged 14-19

The study challenges traditional approaches to work-related learning and examines models of engagement between the creative industries and 14-19 year olds, which provide the opportunity for young people to develop the skills necessary to succeed in the future. Case studies are used to highlight some of the key benefits for those participating: young people, schools and colleges, and creative industry employers.

Commissioned by NESTA and the Make Your Mark campaign, this is one of three reports looking at how organisations and businesses in different sectors can engage more effectively with education. The other reports focus on the rural economy and the third sector.
